What is the number of cans that can be packed in a certain carton?

(1) The interior volume of this carton is 2,304 cubic inches. No information about the cans. Not sufficient.
(2) The exterior of each can is 6 inches high and has a diameter of 4 inches. No information about the cans. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) If the dimensions of the carton are 1 by 1 by 2,304, then zero cylindrical cans can be packed in the carton but if the dimensions of the carton are 12 by 12 by 16, then more than zero cylindrical cans can be packed in the carton. Not sufficient.

Answer: E.

Answer: E.



If the dimensions had been given instead of volume in 1, it would have been sufficient.
