Say total men surveyed =m
women surveyed =w

hence m+w=1400
1)
(50/100)w +(36/100 * m) = 42/100 * (m+w)
=>3/4*m=w also m+w=1400 => m,w can be calculated
SUFFI

2)This is not sufficient to find out men and women count
INSUFFI

Hi Spriya,

I agree with 1st Statement.

But I believe st2 is also sufficient. Please clarify me if i am wrong.

42/100 * 1400 = m + w ( who said they considered engagin in research an essential goal. )

588 = m + w. As m given it is 288.

so w = 300.

It is sufficient.

1400 – 588 considered (42%)
Men = m
Women = w

(1) 0.36m+0.50w = 0.42 (m+w)
0.36m+0.50w = 588
SUFF

(2)
588 – 288 = 300 women
SUFF

Agree. D should be the answer.

I suppose it's the "total number of women surveyed" we require over here and NOT women agreed to the point.....essential goal....
