Question 15 Back to Exercise

In how many ways can the prizes be given?

I. There are 3 prizes.
II. There are 5 students.

  • A Statement I alone is sufficient, but Statement II alone is not sufficient
  • B Statement II alone is sufficient, but Statement I alone is not sufficient
  • C Each statement alone is sufficient
  • D Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient
  • E Statements I and II together are not sufficient Correct
Correct Answer: Option E

Each statement gives one number only. Not sufficient.

Together: whether the prizes differ and whether one student may win more than one is not stated (125, 60 or 35 ways). Not sufficient.
