1st statement : not sufficient
Sum of 3 max size files 450 mb
We cast say rest of 3 files will be of 700-450=250 mb
2nd statement : not sufficient
Minimum size is 125
What’s the max size?
1+2 statement
450 (3 files)+125(1 smallest file)=575
Rest 2 files of total 125. Which is not possible as the smallest file is of 125 mb
So the cd of 700 mb will not hold the 6 files
Sufficient

Why is it not B? If smallest file is 125 and each file is different size then the smallest amount possible should be 125+126+127+128+129+130 = 765 > 750 que?
