A museum gift shop packed a number of souvenir items: magnets, postcards, bookmarks, and keychains into identical gift bags for visitors. If more than 5 gift bags were packed, how many gift bags were packed?
(1) A total of 24 magnets, 36 postcards, 48 bookmarks, and 60 keychains were packed.
(2) Each gift bag contained magnets, postcards, bookmarks, and keychains in the ratio 2:3:4:5, respectively
Value question ! => what is the number of packed gift bags?
Statement (1) : 24 magnets, 36 postcards, 48 bookmarks, and 60 keychains => can be multiples of 2,3, 4, 6, 12.
It is only know that there are more than 5 gift bags => it could be 6 , it could be 12 gift bags => Not Sufficient
Statement (2) => it gives the ratio of the packed items in each bag. However, we still only know that there should be more than 5 packed bags => Not Sufficient
(1) & (2) => provided that we have the total amount of items packed an the ratio for each bag => we can deduce that the packed items are a multiple of 12 of each ratio => meaning that there should be 12 bags.
Answer C

Correct Answer: 12 Gifts were packed, this can be found using statement I alone.
Let’s try both the statements:
(1) A total of 24 magnets, 36 postcards, 48 bookmarks, and 60 keychains were packed.
For getting packed gifts bag we need to find HCF of 24, 36, 48 and 60
24= 2^3 * 3
36= 2^2 * 3^2
48= 2^4 * 3
60= 2^2 * 5 * 3
Common factor= 2^2 * 3= 12 (because more than 5)
12 gifts can be packed each with,
24/12= 2 magnets
36/12= 3 postcards
48/12= 4 bookmarks
60/12= 5 keychain
(2) Each gift bag contained magnets, postcards, bookmarks, and keychains in the ratio 2:3:4:5, respectively.
Here we have ratios, multiple possibilities can be generated.
Hence Statement I alone is sufficient to answer.

Since each bag is identical, it must have the same ratio number of souvenir items. Therefore, Considering, multiple of X or the number of bags is greater than 5, we can determine X if we know the specific ratio
(1) M:P:B:K = 24:36:48:60 - Since each number of items are divisible by 6 or 12, X is could be either - NOT SUFFICIENT
(2) BINGO - match our pre-thinking: The multiple X must only be 12 - Choice (B) SUFFICIENT
