A shopkeeper sells apples for $7 each and strawberries for $15.00 each. How many apples did the shopkeeper sell today?

(1) The number of apples sold today is 1 more than twice the number of strawberries sold.

Number can take any value.
Not sufficient

(2) Today the shopkeeper received a total of $65 from the sale of both apples and strawberries.

7a + 15s = 65
The above equations can be satisfied only for values a = 5 and s = 2

Sufficient

Option B

This option does not tell us how many apples sold - NOT SUFFICIENT

(2) Today the shopkeeper received a total of $65 from the sale of both apples and strawberries.
7x+15y=65
Only possible value is x=5 and y=2.
Option (2) alone SUFFICIENT

Ans B
