Are all major shareholders happy with the company’s progress?

1) Some shareholders are unhappy with the company’s progress.

2) All the unhappy shareholders do not hold a major stake in the company.

The information in statement (1) alone IS enough to answer the question, but the information in statement (2) alone IS NOT enough to answer the question.

The information in statement (2) alone IS enough to answer the question, but the information in statement (1) alone IS NOT enough to answer the question.

NEITHER the information in statement (1) alone NOR the information in statement (2) alone is enough to answer the question, but the information in statements (1) and (2) taken together is enough to answer the question.

The information in statement (1) alone IS enough to answer the question, and the information in statement (2) alone IS also enough to answer the question.

The information in statements (1) and (2) taken together IS NOT enough to answer the question.
These questions are being tested now in the GMAT (Non-math Verbal DS), but this particular one seems to be too vague for GMAT Language! "Major Shareholders" = ?....Majority of the shareholders? Shareholders of major shares? Shareholders who are considered major? Also, are shareholding related feelings bipolar - Happy and Unhappy? Is there a neutral.....Sounds too vague to me!

But if would have got this exact question when I gave the test, I would have gone with A.....Statement 1 says "Some" are "Unhappy". Let’s say shareholders can be either happy or unhappy but not both and major-minor represents majority-minority. So, statement 1 basically says "unhappy" are "some", which means they are in minority....which eventually means "happy" are in majority. So, Sufficient.........Statement 2 says all unhappy ones do not have a major stake. So that means happy ones do have a major stake. But the question asks "Are ALL....". This stake may be in majority (>50%) but not 100%. Statement 2 is not sufficient, but 1 is.

This is eGMAT’s solution to a similar question (Non math verbal DS). Some insights can be taken with respect to applying DS logic in these

I am using TTP course from a while and my TTP instructors suggested that I don’t need to worry about these Non-maths verbal ques. As they can be attempted by applying the simple logic and that too without even practicing a ton of ques.

I second that. Just elements from typical Assumption and Inference based CR. Nothing new! But they do get tricky!
