Total Non-Math majors \(- \text{ 60%}\) of Total students
Total Senior Non-Math majors \(- \frac{3}{5} \text{ of 60% = 36%}\) of Total students
Statement 1: There are 450 students in the math class
NOT SUFFICIENTStatement 2: There are 340 seniors
NOT SUFFICIENTCombined:
NOT SUFFICIENTAnswer is E
Making matrics,
Given - Of the students in a certain math class, each student either is a math major or is not a math major, and each student either is a senior or is not a senior. Of these students, 60% are not math majors. Of those students who are not math majors, \(\frac{3}{5}\) are seniors.
Lets assume class had 100x students
---------Math Major------------No Math Major ---- Total
S -------________-------------__36x___----------- 340 (2nd statement)
NS------________-------------__24x___-----------_____
Total------40x--------------------60x------------------100x
To find - Are there more seniors who are math majors than there are seniors who are not math majors? Yes/No Type question
1st - There are 450 students in the math class.
100x=450, x=4.5
No sufficient as we dont know the Senior math major count.
2nd - There are 340 seniors.
Still not sufficient.
Combining both
Now we know x=4.5 and Total Seniors = 340
36x = 4.5*36 = 162
Therefore, Senior Math Major = 340 - Senior non math major = 340 - 162 = 178
Senior Math Major > Senior Non Math Major - Yes
Sufficient.
Answer is C.Hope it helps.
