1) The team scored 55 points in the first 5 games.
2) The score of each game is at least 9 points.


The sum here is 12*10=120
St1------Not sufficient as 55 points can be divided in various ways for 5 games (40,10,2,2,1) or(10,10,10,10,15)
St2------Sufficient
If score of each game is at least 9 points, then a 40 point in 1 game is not possible since the remaining 80 points (i.e 120-40)
will not help in getting a score of 9 points a game as per statement 2

Ans is B
hit Kudos if u like :)

Ans is B

total 10 games , total average =12 , total score =120
has team scored atleast 40 in 1 game
1) 5 games 55 score
remaining 5 is 65
let in 1 game 39 and remaining 4 games score =65-39
let in 1 game 41 and remaining 4 games score =65-41

or simply 5 games = 55 points
1st game 41 points remaining 4 games = 14
1st game 39 points remaining 4 games = 16

AD out

2) Each game at least 9 score

x + 9x9 = 120
x=120-81
x=39 DEFINITELY NO

B is the answer

The most important thing of all for any Data Sufficiency question is to process statement 1 and statement 2 separately first and only if this doesn't yield an answer we should proceed with statement 1 and 2 combined.
