Directions:Each of the following problems contains a question that is followed by two statements. Select youranswer using the data in statement (1) and statement (2), and determine whether they provide enough infor-mation to answer the initial question. If you are asked for the value of a quantity, the information is suffi-cient when it is possible to determine only one value for the quantity. The five possible answer choices are asfollows:a. Statement (1), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (2) by itself.b. Statement (2), BY ITSELF, will suffice to solve the problem, but NOT statement (1) by itself.c. The problem can be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER, but not ONLYstatement (1) or statement (2).d. The problem can be solved using EITHER statement (1) only or statement (2) only.e. The problem CANNOT be solved using statement (1) and statement (2) TOGETHER.The numbers used are real numbers. If a figure accompanies a question, the figure will be drawn to scaleaccording to the original question or information, but will not necessarily be consistent with the informa-tion given in statements (1) and (2).
