Going through some prep materials I've faced one simple Data Sufficiency question on weighted average with contradictory answer (at least from my perspective)
Quote:
Tickets to a play cost $10 for children and $25 for adults. If 100 tickets were sold, were more adult tickets sold than children's tickets?
(1) The average revenue per ticket was $18. (2) The revenue from ticket sales exceeded $1,750.

Materials state that answer is D
From simple sufficient / non-sufficient PoV I do realize that you can get answer with both statements separately.
However, if you try to calculate result using Statement (1) you will get non-integer value which can't be true in case of tickets. So from my PoV correct answer is B (as you can get proper integer answer from it).
So my question is: from GMAT perspective - should it be JUST sufficient and it doesn't matter will asnwer be valid or not OR also answer should be valid?

If an answer has to be an integer, then a proper GMAT question will always give an answer which is an integer.
