Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked
Both statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked; but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient
Answer:
Both statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked
Step-by-step explanation:
Given statement 1 :
xy < zy < 0,
The product of two numbers are negative if either of the numbers are negative.
∵ if xy < 0 ⇒ Case 1 : x > 0 and y < 0
Case 2 : x < 0 and y > 0,
Thus, Statement is not sufficient to prove y is positive,
Now, Statement 2 :
x < z, x is negative,
That is, x < 0
Combining statements (1) and (2),
We get,
xy < 0, x < 0,
⇒ y > 0
That is, y is positive.
Hence, Both statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked
What is the cost of a large box of tangerines?
Answer:
11s + 10l = 146
5s + 12l = 126
$8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let :
Small box = s
Large box = l
11s + 10l = 146 - - - - (1)
5s + 12l = 126 - - - - (2)
Multiply (1) by 5 ; (2) by 11
55s + 50l = 730
55s + 132l = 1386
Subtract
-82l = - 656
l = 8
11s + 10(8) = 146
11s + 80 = 146
11s = 66
s = $6
Hence, the price of a large box of tangerine = $8
