If 60 people attend a party, how many of these people drink coffee?
(1) The number of people at the party who drink coffee is 4 times the number of those who do not drink coffee.
(2) The number of people who don't drink coffee is 36 less than the number who do drink coffee.
Let's look at each statement individually and then at both of them together (if required):
Statement 1: The number of people at the party who drink coffee is 4 times the number of those who do not drink coffee.
Let the number of people who do not drink coffee = X
Thus, the number of people who drink coffee = 4X
As a total of 60 people attend the party => X+4X = 60, thus X = 12
Number of people who drink coffee = 48
Hence, we can determine the answer using Statement 1 alone.
Now, let's take a look at Statement 2 as well.
Statement 2: The number of people who don't drink coffee is 36 less than the number who do drink coffee.
Let the number of people who drink coffee = X, and those who do not drink coffee = Y.
Thus, Y = X-36
Since 60 people attended the party, X+Y = 60 => X+X-36 = 60 => 2X = 96 => X = 48
Hence, we can determine the answer using Statement 2 alone too.
Therefore, the correct answer should be Option D - Each statement alone is sufficient.
