Each of 30 parents chose one of five days from Monday through Friday to attend parent-teacher conferences. Was at least one of the five days chosen by more than 10 parents?
(1) 15 parents chosen Monday or Tuesday --> we can have YES answer, (for example: 14-1-5-5-5) as well as NO answer, (for example: 10-5-5-5-5). Not sufficient.
(2) Each of the five days was chosen by at least 5 parents --> even if we distribute parents: 5-5-5-5-10, we still won't have any day which was chosen by more than 10 parents (minimizing # of parents who chose each of 4 days to maximize # of parents who chose the fifth day). Sufficient.
Answer: B.
Missed the word
more and got the wrong answer .
If it was " Was at least one of the five days chosen by at least 10 parents ?" then the answer could be E
Then
(1) 15 parents chosen Monday or Tuesday --> case 1: 10, 5 answer is yes ( showing Monday, Tuesday only )
--------------------------------------------------- -- case 2: 8,7 answer is no
2) Each of the five days was chosen by at least 5 parents -->
case1: 6 6 6 6 6 ,Answer No
case2: 10 5 5 5 5,Answer Yes
1+2
10 5 5 5 5, Answer Yes
8 7 5 5 5, Answer No
Still not sufficient
with the word " more than 10 parents " then of course the answer is B
