Solution



To find:
    • The number of basic units of currency X, which are equivalent to 250 basic units of currency Y

Analysing Statement 1
    • As per the information given in statement 1, 100 basic units of currency X are equivalent to 625 basic units of currency Y
      o Therefore, 250 basic units of currency Y = \(\frac{100}{625} * 250\)

Hence, statement 1 is sufficient to answer

Analysing Statement 2
    • As per the information given in statement 1, 2000 basic units of currency X are equivalent to 12500 basic units of currency Y
      o Therefore, 250 basic units of currency Y = \(\frac{2000}{12500} * 250\)

Hence, statement 2 is sufficient to answer

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

Answer: D

Answer should be E right ? We can't find the relation if its a straight line or parabola or anything else? Even with both the statements included. Please help.

It is interesting to notice that both answer choices basically say the same, because statement two is a multiple of statement one (factor 20).

I am still choosing D, because a currency conversion is always a straight line. e.g. 1 EUR = 1,15 USD. Therefore, 2 EUR = 2,30 USD. The same reasoning applies to this question.

Hello

I think in this case relation should be fairly simple and straight (line). If 'a' units of currency X are equal to 'b' units of currency Y, then
1 unit of currency X = b/a units of currency Y and
1 unit of currency Y = a/b units of currency X
