Thank you for the excellent explanation. GMATinsight. Would you like to elaborate as to why you picked only one or two decimal numbers ( e.g - 27.5 or 7.5 or 16.5) and one integer number ?
Any particular reason for doing so ? Please help. KarishmaB MartyMurray
GMATinsight
Product A

Check Receipt 3 in which total spend for Product A is 57 which is 19*3 (both prime numbers)
All numbers in Product A column are multiples of 3
i.e. Each product price must be €3
SUFFICIENT

Product B

Check Receipt 5, 11, 15 in which total spend for Product B are 27.5, 7.5, 5 i.e. GCD is 2.5
All numbers in Product B column are multiples of 2.5
i.e. Each product price must be €2.5
SUFFICIENT

Product C

Check Receipt 4 & 5 in which total spend for Product C are 3 and 16.5 i.e. GCD is 1.5
All numbers in Product A column are multiples of 1.5
i.e. Each product price must be €1.5
SUFFICIENT


ashutosh_73
For each of 18 recent purchases that included each of Products A–D, the table shows the product subtotals (the unit price for that product multiplied by the number of units bought as part of that purchase). For example, the table shows that, in the purchase corresponding to Receipt 1, €14.0 of the total purchase was due to the purchase of units of Product D. For each product, the number of units bought was always an integer and the unit price was the same for each of the 18 purchases.



For each of the following products, select Sufficient if the information provided is sufficient to determine whether the unit price of the product exceeds €3. Otherwise, select Insufficient.

Let me add some inputs. The information clearly mentions that the units purchased are integers but there is no such restriction on the price of each unit purchased. Hence, the decimal component in the table must have been due to the price and not due to the units.

Once you figure that out, it's simply a matter of finding out what is the price. To do so, compare with a closest integer and see the difference. The difference or any factor of the same must be the price for the product.

Hope that clears your doubt.

Official Explanation from the Book

Evaluate
RO1
Each of the subtotals for Product A is an integer multiple of the unit price for Product A, and thus the positive difference between any two different subtotals is a positive integer multiple of the unit price for Product A. It follows that the unit price for Product A cannot be greater than any of these positive differences. Therefore, if the positive difference between any two different subtotals is less than or equal to 3, then the unit price for Product A cannot be greater than 3. Sorting the table by column A, several different subtotals can be seen having a positive difference equal to 3, such as in receipt 2 and in receipt 3. Therefore, it can be determined that the unit price of Product A does NOT exceed €3.

The correct answer is Sufficient.

RO2
The same reasoning in the explanation for Product A applies to Product B. Sorting the table by column B, several different subtotals can be seen having a positive difference less than 3, such as in receipt 12 and in receipt 16. Therefore, it can be determined that the unit price of Product B does NOT exceed €3.

The correct answer is Sufficient.

RO3
The same reasoning in the explanation for Product A applies to Product C. Sorting the table by column C, several different subtotals can be seen having a positive difference equal to 3 (and one that is less than 3), such as in receipt 7 and in receipt 9. Therefore, it can be determined that the unit price of Product C does NOT exceed €3.

The correct answer is Sufficient.

Hi Mam,

I am unable to understand statements 2 and 3, 2.5 and 1.5 do not exceed Euro 3, then also answer sufficient for statements 2 and 3

Can you please explain through a video solution for better understanding

For each of 18 recent purchases that included each of Products A–D, the table shows the product subtotals (the unit price for that product multiplied by the number of units bought as part of that purchase). For example, the table shows that, in the purchase corresponding to Receipt 1, €14.0 of the total purchase was due to the purchase of units of Product D. For each product, the number of units bought was always an integer and the unit price was the same for each of the 18 purchases.



For each of the following products, select Sufficient if the information provided is sufficient to determine whether the unit price of the product exceeds €3. Otherwise, select Insufficient.

­
­The units of any product bought are a positive integer value.

Product A - In a receipt, someone bought x units and gave €54. In another receipt, someone bought more than x units and gave €57.
This means that the one who gave €3 extra bought 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 etc. units of A extra.
So cost of each unit of A is at most €3 and can go down to €0.01 per unit theoretically. Hence cost of each unit of A is not more than €3.
Select Sufficient

Product B - In a receipt, someone bought x units and gave €27.5. In another receipt, someone bought more than x units and gave €30.
This means that the one who gave €2.5 extra bought 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 etc. units of B extra.
So cost of each unit of B is at most €2.5 and can go down to €0.01 per unit theoretically. Hence cost of each unit of B is not more than €3.
Select Sufficient

Product C - In a receipt, someone bought x units and gave €16.5. In another receipt, someone bought more than x units and gave €18.
This means that the one who gave €1.5 extra bought 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 etc. units of C extra.
So cost of each unit of C is at most €1.5 and can go down to €0.01 per unit theoretically. Hence cost of each unit of C is not more than €3.

The question is asking if we can determine they are above 3 euro, so them not exceeding 3 euro means the answer would be sufficient.

I have a doubt, the question is asking whether the information in the table is sufficient to determine if the unit value of each product A, B, and C is greater than 3 euros. So, do we need to solve it?
We can make the equation from receipts 1,2, and 2* of 10?

You don't really need to calculate much, you just need to find the difference between the total costs in receipts as that will indicate the range that each product cost can have.

I am still confused here, as to if I can state that for Product A, the Price can be 1.5$ or 3$ or 6$, in that case, how can the first answer be sufficient? If the answer oscillates between More than 3 and less than 3, how can it be sufficient?

How can it be €6 per unit? Between two receipts, the subtotal for Product A rises from €57 to €60, which is a €3 difference. If each unit cost €6, then even one more unit would make the subtotal jump by €6, not €3. So the unit price cannot be €6; it must be €3 or less. That’s why the information is sufficient to determine that the price does not exceed €3.
