Re: Six shipments of machine parts were shipped from a factory [#permalink]

Six shipments of machine parts were shipped from a factory on two trucks, with each shipment entirelyon one of the trucks. Each shipment was labeled either SI, S2, S3, S4, S5, or S6. The table shows the value of each shipment as a fraction of the total value of the six shipments. Ifthe shipments on the first truck had avalue greater than 1/2 of the total value of the six shipments, was S3 shipped on the first truck?
(1) S2 and S4 were shipped on the first truck.

(2) SI and S6 were shipped on the second truck.

The good news is that I was on the right path untill the end though I Picked A not B.

I would like to know the real point of this question.

Regards


I didn't understand the highlighted part. Could someone clarify.
