Metropolitan Concert Hall was half full on Tuesday night. How many seats are in the Hall?
(1) If the number of people in the Hall increased by 20% from Tuesday night to Wednesday night, then the Hall would be 60% full on Wednesday night.
(2) If 20 more people showed up on Tuesday night, that would have increased the number of people in the Hall by 4%.

Let total seats be S and Tuesday attendees be T.
Given: Tuesday was half full ⇒ T=1/2S.
(1) Wednesday would be 20% more people than Tuesday and 60% full:
1.2T = 0.6S. Using T=1/2S: 1.2(1/2S)=0.6S — an identity. No new info about S. Insufficient.
(2) “20 more people” would have increased Tuesday attendance by 4%:
20 = 0.04T -> T = 20/0.04 = 500.
Then S = 2T = 1000. Sufficient.
Answer: 1000 seats.
Data sufficiency choice: (B) (statement 2 alone is sufficient).

Let the population of MCH on Tuesday = 50%(Total capacity).
Let the total capacity be C
Tuesday = 50%(C)
Statement 1:
(1) If the number of people in the Hall increased by 20% from Tuesday night to Wednesday night, then the Hall would be 60% full on Wednesday night.
Tuesday = 50% C = C/2
Wednesday = 20% increase = (6/5)*(C/2) = 3C/5
Since, we dont know the exact value of C or any other factors to ascertain C. Insufficient
Statement 2:
(2) If 20 more people showed up on Tuesday night, that would have increased the number of people in the Hall by 4%.
Tuesday = 50% C
if 20 ppl show up for the MHC, 50%C + 20 = 54% C
this 20 has contributed to the 4% increase. With this we can find 100% = ?
This statement is Sufficient to answer.
Option B
