Jerry buys six 25 lb. bags of dog food. He has to carry those bags from his car into his kitchen. Does Jerry make more than three trips?
(1) Jerry can carry no more than 50 lbs.
(2) Jerry does not carry the same number of bags on every trip.
[spoiler]OA: C. I think it should be B. The explanation for statement 2 says "We do not know how many bags Jerry can carry. If Jerry can carry four bags in a single trip, he could make only two trips. If he can only carry two bags, he would have to make more than three (two trips with two bags and two trips with one bag.) Note the different between the phrase "every trip" and "any trip". "Every trip" means that he may repeat the number of bags carried, but not such that it's the same for every trip he makes. Hence insufficient"[/spoiler]
