What is the total weight of six boxes, each of equal weight? Which statement(s) suffice? Statement 1: One-third of each box's weight is 2 kg. Statement 2: The total weight of four boxes is 12 kg more than the total weight of two boxes.
AEither statement 1 or 2 is sufficient.
BOnly statement 1 is sufficient.
CNeither statement 1 nor 2 is sufficient.
DOnly statement 2 is sufficient.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Either statement 1 or 2 is sufficient.
1. From statement 1: each box = 3 × 2 = 6 kg, so six boxes = 36 kg; sufficient alone.
2. From statement 2: 4w − 2w = 12, so 2w = 12, w = 6 kg, six boxes = 36 kg; sufficient alone.
3. Hence either statement alone is sufficient.
