A certain number of people wait in line at a bank until served. How many people are presently in line?
(1) If 2 more people joined the line and none of those currently waiting were served, there would be at least 10 people waiting in line.
(2) If no more people joined the line and 4 of the people currently waiting were served, there would be fewer than 5 people waiting in line.
We need to find the number of people present in the line = W = ?
Statement 1:
(1) If 2 more people joined the line and none of those currently waiting were served, there would be at least 10 people waiting in line.
W + 2 >= 10
Thus, W >= 8
W can take any values from 8, 9, 10 ....... and so on.
Hence,
Insufficient.
Statement 2:
(2) If no more people joined the line and 4 of the people currently waiting were served, there would be fewer than 5 people waiting in line.
W -4 <5
W < 9
W can be any value from 0 to 9.
Hence,
Insufficient.
Combining both Statements 1 and 2, we get
W >= 8 and W <9
There exists a unique value W =8.
Hence,
Sufficient.
