Question 141

A box contains oranges, bananas and apples. How many apples are there in the box ?
I. Of the hundred fruits in the box, fifty percent constitute oranges and bananas together.
II. Fifty percent of the fruits in the box are apples.

Solution

Let number of oranges be $$o$$, apples be $$a$$ and bananas be $$b$$.

I : Total fruits = 100

Number of oranges and bananas = $$o+b=\frac{50}{100}\times100=50$$

=> $$a=100-50=50$$

Thus, I alone is sufficient.

II : We don't know the total fruits, hence II alone is insufficient.

$$\therefore$$ I alone is sufficient.

=> Ans - (A)
