Adult's Ticket = $30, Child's Ticket = $24.

Number of Adult's tickets = x, Number of Child's tickets = y.

We need to find (30x + 24y)/(x+y).

Stmt1: y = 2x
(30x + 24y)/(x+y) = (30x + 24*2x)/(x+2x)
= 78x/3x
=26. Sufficient.

Stmt2: y = 4.
No information about x (number of adult's tickets) or total tickets. Insufficient.

Hence A.
