How many gift boxes were sold on Monday ?
Statements:
I. It was 10% more than the boxes sold on the earlier day i.e., Sunday.
II. Every third visitor to the shop purchased the box and 1500 visitors were there on Sunday.
A. I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
B. II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
C. Either I or II is sufficient
D. Neither I nor II is sufficient
E. Both I and II are sufficient
Answer : E. Both I and II are sufficient
Explanation:
From II, we can conclude (1500/3) i.e., 500 boxes were sold on Sunday.
From I, we find that number of boxes sold on Monday = 500 + 10% of 500 = 550.
