Raj is working on a set of Data Sufficiency problems for his December

GROCKIT OFFICIAL SOLUTION:

Step 1: Figure out what we need to know. We have two probabilities that we need to figure out: the one before Raj figures out that statement 1 of the data interpretation problem is also insufficient, and the one after. The answer is the difference between them, in the form of a percent.

Step 2: The first probability.

If statement 1 of the geometry problem is insufficient, then the only valid answer choices are B, C, and E; the probability that it is C is 1/3.
If both statements of the algebra problem are insufficient on their own, then the only remaining valid answers are C and E; the probability that it is C is 1/2
If statement 2 of the data interpretation problem is insufficient, then the remaining answers are A, C, and E, and the probability that C is correct is 1/3.
The probability of all three occurring is the product of the probability fractions: (1/3)*(1/2)*(1/3) = 1/18.

Step 3: The second probability.

Only the third problem has changed; if Raj now knows that statement 1 is also insufficient, the valid answer choices are only C and E, leaving a 1/2 probability that the answer is C.

The probability of all three occurring is still the product of those fractions, but this time they are (1/3)*(1/2)*(1/2) = 1/12.

Step 4: The answer. Note that here, as will sometimes happen on the GMAT, values that you compute “along the way” appear as wrong answer choices. This problem calls for the difference between our two numbers, (1/12)-(1/18) = 1/36, which is a 2.77777% chance, rounded to 2.8% — the correct answer is Choice B.
