How many gift boxes were sold on Monday ?
Statements:
1. It was 10% more than the boxes sold on the earlier day i.e. Sunday.
2. 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 1

The correct option is E Both I and II are sufficient

From II, we can conclude that (1500 * 3) = 500 boxes were sold on Sunday.
Thus, from I, we find that number of boxes sold on Monday = 500 + 10% of 500 = 550.
