A thoroughly blended biscuit mix includes only flour and baking powder. What is the ratio of the number of grams of baking powder to the number of grams of flour in the mix?
(1) Exactly 9.9 grams of flour is contained in 10 grams of the mix
(2) Exactly 0.3 gram of baking powder is contained in 30 grams of the mix.
A-FS1 alone is sufficient, FS2 alone is not sufficient
B-FS1 alone is not sufficient, FS2 alone is sufficient
C-FS1 alone is not sufficient, FS2 alone is not sufficient, But
FS1 & FS2 together are sufficient
D-FS1 alone is sufficient, FS2 alone is also sufficient
E- FS1 alone not sufficient. FS2 alone not sufficient. FS1 &
FS2 together are also not sufficient
Solution -
Since the mix is thoroughly blended, any amount of the mix will have the ingredients in the same ratio. In any amount of the mix, the ratio of the ingredients can be determined once the amounts of both ingredients are known.
(1) Both the amount of one ingredient and the total amount of mix are known, and thus, by subtraction, the amount of the second ingredient can be determined; SUFFICIENT.
(2) Both the amount of one ingredient and the total amount of mix are known, and thus, by subtraction, the amount of the second ingredient can be determined; SUFFICIENT.
The correct answer is D;
each statement alone is sufficient.
