Ines has $15 to purchase fruit. All apples are priced equally and all bananas are priced equally. If 5 apples and 5 bananas cost exactly $15, could she afford 4 apples and 6 bananas with the money she has?

(1) The cost of one apple exceeds the cost of one banana by more than $0.20.

(2) Ines cannot afford 6 apples and 4 bananas with the money she has.

So, we have

5 apples + 5 banana = $15;

We have to find out whether (5 apples + 5 banana) – 1 apple + 1 banana ≤ $15;

So, we have to see if an apple is swapped with a banana, can Ines buy it?

This is possible only if the price of an apple is greater than the price of a banana.

Let's take each statement one by one.

(1) The cost of one apple exceeds the cost of one banana by more than $0.20.

This sufficient as the price of an apple is greater than the price of a banana.

(2) Ines cannot afford 6 apples and 4 bananas with the money she has.

=> The price of an apple is greater than the price of a banana. Sufficient.

The correct answer: D

Hope this helps!
