Sets Question
\(B =\) Basic, \(D =\) Deluxe

Consider, Total Rooms \(= 100 = B + D\)

Rented Out \(= 75\)

Statement 1

\(60\%\) rooms are basic

\(\Rightarrow \; 40\) rooms rented out, and \(20\) not rented out. Sufficient \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)

Statement 2

\(12.5\%\) of deluxe rooms not rented out.

\(\Rightarrow \; \dfrac{1}{8}\) not rented out, and \(\dfrac{7}{8}\) rented out

\(\dfrac{2}{3}B + \dfrac{7}{8} D = 75\)

From the Question, \(B + D = 100\)

We can solve for \(B\). Sufficient \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)

Therefore, D
