To piggyback on the last comment, whether OG question or not, in general, unlike LSAT, you never assume more than what the questions has stated unless you are asking for inference in RC.

OG specifically gave this advice.

Thread moved to right forum & subject edited.

"If Mary bought some kiwis, bananas, and lemons ...."

Well, IMHO the above statement is very clear in stating that Mary bought only three types of fruits. The use of word "only" is not needed here. But you have a valid point as the opinion on the use of different wording vary from person to person.

As far as $79 value is concerned, believe me you will gain a lot.

In future you can post problems of club tests in this specific forum.

Ans is D..

1.) If they are in the ratio of 1:4:7,then considering the total no of fruits be x,we can have each of them written as 1/12x,4/12x,7/12x..
now,it is given that total no of fruits are 24..
Hence,it can be concluded that she has 2 kiwis,8 bananas and 14 lemons..
Hence A is sufficient..So we strike out options B,C and E..

2.) If Mary bought 8 bananas,then 4/12x=8..So we can find out from this fact that total number of fruits are 24..Thus,lemons are 8..

Hence correct answer choice is D
