DS Advance Why D?
31).A fruit basket contains apples, oranges, and tangerines in the ratio 3: 2: 5, respectively. What is the total number of apples, oranges, and tangerines in the fruit basket?
I. The fruit basket contains a total of 8 apples and tangerines.
II. The fruit basket contains fewer than 12 oranges.
Answer given in doc is D, but i solved it to A
I is sufficient since 3k +2k+5k =10 so k =1 ;
II) fewer than 12 oranges… so that could be 2,4,6,8,10 insufficient.
Can someone please help me why answer is D
Yeah Ankita.
Answer should be A(I alone is sufficient).
I think, instead of oranges it should be given as fruits. Then the statement II is sufficient.
Thanks for letting us know. I think its a typo error.
We shall make the necessary changes.
