Data Interpretation Question on Statements and Inferences

If no student took test T more than once, how many students took test T?
I. The average (arithmetic mean) of the students' scores on test T was 72.
II. The sum of the students' scores on test T was 2232.
Decide whether the data in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.

A

if Statement I alone is sufficient but Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question

B

if Statement II alone is sufficient but Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question

C

if both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question but neither Statement alone is sufficient

D

if Statements I and II together are not sufficient, and additional data is needed to answer the question

Answer

if both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question but neither Statement alone is sufficient

Explanation

Solution

Statement 1: Insufficient
Number of students not able to find
Statement 2: Insufficient
We don't know how many students or the Average
Statements both:
Average=sumstudents\text{Average} = \frac{\text{sum}}{\text{students}}
let x=students who took test T.
72=2,232x72 = \frac{2,232}{x}
72x=2,23272 x=2,232
x=2,23272x = \frac{2,232}{72}
So, sufficient
So the correct option is (C) .
