(1) The ratio of bananas to carrots is 50 to 21

(2) The total number of apples, bananas, carrots and dates is 280

Solution:
(1) a:b = 2:5 // c:d = 3:7 // b:c = 50:21 --> a:b:c:d = 20:50:21:49 --> apples to dates = 20:49 -- Sufficient

(2) 7x +10y = 280 -- can not be solved further -- not-sufficient

Ans: - A
