Statement 1: Total 30 tasks.
possible distributions: 6,6,6,6,6 or 6,7,8,4,5 or 6,7,9,3,5 or 1,2,3,4,20, etc. All possible distributions will provide a different answer for the largest value, so I feel this statement is not sufficient.
Statement 2: The median number of tasks is 6.
well,
_,_,6,_,_. Doesn't provide any insights on the largest value. Again, insufficient.
Combined, the median is 6, and the total is 30.
If we consider this example,
4,5,6,7,8 vs 3,5,6,7,9
We are still getting conflicting answers for the largest value. Thus, combining doesn't provide a sufficient answer. Hence Final answer, Option E
