Hi,

A is not sufficient.
Consider 20, 20, 40, 40 the average is 30 and non is greater than 60 (2 #s are greater than 30)
Consider 0, 40, 40, 40 the average is 30 and non is greater than 60 (3 #s are greater than 30)
Thus B alone is not sufficient.

B. Two of the four numbers are 9 and 10 then the sum of the other two numbers are 4*30 - (9+10) = 101
if one number is zero the other is 101 (1 # is greater than 30)
if one number is 60 the other other is 51 (2 #s are greater than 30)
Thus B alone is not sufficient.

Taking A and B, the answer will be sufficient and we will have two numbers greater than 30.

Regards,
Jack

C

1) set can be {30 30 30 30} or {10 10 50 50}.... multiple options

2) set can be {9 10 10 91} or {9 10 50 51}..... multiple options

together: { 9 10 x y}

x+y should be 101 and both need to be less than 60. if x is 59 then y will be 101-59 = 42.

if x is 31 then y is 80 - not good. increase x which in turn will reduce y but, both will be greater than 30 for sure.

If the average (arithmetic mean) of four different numbers is 30, how many of the numbers are greater than 30?

$$a+b+c+d=4*30=120$$

(1) None of the four numbers is greater than 60. Many combinations are possible. For example, numbers can be: 20-25-30-45 (only one number is greater than 30) OR 15-20-40-45 (two number are greater than 30). Not sufficient.

(2) Two of the four numbers are 9 and 10 respectively. Also not sufficient, consider: 0-9-10-101 OR 9-10-35-66. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) As two of the four numbers are 9 and 10 then the sum of other two must be 120-(9+10)=101. Now, as the greatest number can be at most 60, then the least value of the other one is 41, so in any case two numbers will be more than 30. Sufficient.
