i am going with option b that b is alone suff.
it's given that 144 would not use response (96+48)
both user gives 0 rejections
exactly 1 user gives 1 rejection and neither gives 2 rejections
b matches as it states the number of both users equal neither users bringing us to that the avg user gives exactly 1 rejection.
144 rejections = 144 users.
a is insuff, knowing only the number of both leaves users with too many missing pieces as we don't know how many users are in other two groups.

Given:

Responses( would not use)=96+48= 144

Let A= Use both
Let B= Use exactly one
Let C= Use neither

B+ 2C=144 AND T= A+B+C

Statement 1:
A=60
SO T= 60+B+C
60+ (144-2C)+C=204-C

insufficent.

Statment 2:
C=A
T= A+B+C
2C+(144-2C)=144

SUFFICENT

A software company asked a group of users to test two new app interfaces. Each user tested both interfaces and, for each interface, said whether he or she would use that interface. If a user said that he or she would not use an interface, the user selected exactly one of two reasons: confusing navigation or slow loading. Across all such “would not use” responses, slow loading was selected as the reason 96 times, and confusing navigation was selected as the reason 48 times. How many users tested the two interfaces?


(1) 60 users said that they would use both interfaces.

this info is not sufficient to determine total users ; insufficient

(2) The number of users who said that they would use neither interface was equal to the number of users who said that they would use both interfaces.

from #2 statement we know

neither = 2* both interfaces

but there is no info about users who would use both interfaces ; insufficient


from 1 &2 we can determine

total users = both + one + neither

one interface users will be

60+60+one = 48+96

one = 24

60+60+24 = 144 users

both statements together are sufficient..

option C is correct

A software company asked a group of users to test two new app interfaces e.g Interface 1 & Interface 2
Each user tested both interfaces and for each interface, said whether he or she would use that interface. If a user said that he or she would not use an interface, the user selected exactly one of the 2 reasons to reject the interface:
1. Confusing navigation (48 times) 2. Slow loading (96 times)

Use Interface 1Reject Interface 1Total
Use Interface 2y
Reject Interface 2z
Totalx

x - y + z = 96 + 48 = 144; x-y users rejected at least 1 interface with z rejecting both of them.
x = 144 + y - z = ?

(1) y = 60
since z is unknown
Not sufficient

(2) z = y
x = 144 + y = y = 144
144 users tested the 2 interfaces
Sufficient

IMO B

IMO : B
Total = Only confusing NO+ Only Slow NO + Both No + Yes to both
as per the question only confusing No+ both NO =48
only slow No +both No = 96
now option 1:
in this we know confusing no = 48 and slow no= 96 but we dont know how many selected both and how many selected neither, but we know that both yes= 60
hence not sufficent
Option 2:
in this we know both yes = both no ---> let it be x
therefore
Total = 96+48-x +x
total = 144 hence sufficent

Given 96 chose slow loading, 48 chose Confusing interface

We dont know who chose both / neither

We need to find total # of users who tested.

Let x be both, y be neither

96 + 48-x+y = Total

First statement : 60 tested both, we still dont have y. Insufficient

Second Statement x = y ; x and y cancel out; we have total 144. Sufficient.

B = both interfaces
N = neither one
ONE = only one interface
TWO = only two interfaces

Slow loading 96
Confusing 48

would not use is 96 + 48 =144

User contributes
0 responses if use both interfaces
1 if they use one
2 if use neither

therefor (ONE + TWO) + 2N = 144

Total number is ONE + B + TWO + N

Statement 1

60 would use both
B=60

Total + (ONE + TWO) + 60 + N
Still have too many unknowns

Insufficent

Statement 2
Number that would use neither = number who would use both

N = B
ONE +TWO = 144 -2N
total = (144 - 2N) + N + N = 144
Ns cancel
therefor total is always 144

Sufficent

Answer B Statement two alone is sufficient

I choose B in hurry without putting things on paper, but i now think the answer is E

given or need assumptions
to create 2 divisions - one which accepted (A) and ones that rejected (R)
A+R = U (the total number of users)
for A we do not have any data

for R we know that
96 selected slow as reason to reject
48 selected confusion navigation to reject
let X be the number of users, who's reject reason was both
so 96 - X selected Slowness as the only reason
and 48 - X selected Confusion as the only reason

now on to statements
Statement 1
60 Users said they would use both interfaces, so A is given
still we don't know R so insufficient


Statement 2
says Neither interface (R) = Both Interfaces (A)

so, 96 - x + x + 48 - x = A, insufficient alone, ( i selected B because i misread or thought that x = A, which is obviously wrong)

Option C (1+2)
will give the value of x = 84, seems sufficient
but....

we failed to consider one thing, the question said "Across all such "would not use" "
meaning that 98 and 48 can contain
rejections for both interfaces + Rejection for interface 1 + rejection for interface 2 (not just both)

so some of the rejections can be repeated by same user within the 98+48 = 144... without giving us the accurate answer

thus, E should be the answer

y = liked both interface, a = liked one interface, n = like none of the interface.
sl = slow loading = 96; cn = confusing navigation = 48.
? = y+a+n
S1: y = 60.
now, 96+48 = 144 is the total 'would not use' response, but we don't have enough information as too how this number is split between a and n. therefore, we can't answer. BCE option remains
S2: y = n
this again won't tell us anything about a and n slip or y value. Therefore, CE remains.
S1&S2:
y = n = 60.
we already know y and n. we only need a.
we know that, 2n + a = 144(people who like neither will give 2 no responses and people who liked exactly one will give one no response)
we know n, so a = 24.
so we can solve for total user value. Therefore Answer is C

If a user said that he or she would not use an interface, the user selected exactly one of two reasons: confusing navigation or slow loading. Across all such “would not use” responses, slow loading was selected as the reason 96 times, and confusing navigation was selected as the reason 48 times. How many users tested the two interfaces (N)?
x1= users who use both interfaces
x2= users of only 1st interface
x3= users of only 2nd interface
x4= user of neither interface
N=x1+x2+x3+x4 _____(1)
x2+x3+2(x4)=96+48= 144 _____(2)

(1) 60 users said that they would use both interfaces.
x1=60
N= 60+x2+x3+x4
We don't know exact value of x4, so we can't solve this to find N.
Insufficient
(2) The number of users who said that they would use neither interface was equal to the number of users who said that they would use both interfaces.
x4=x1
N=2x4+x2+x3= 144
It is sufficient.

The answer is B.

We can use a double set matrix to structure the problem. I prefer this approach to venn diagrams.

We are given in the question stem that the total number of users who said they would not use at least one of the interfaces is 144 (96 + 48, it doesnt matter which of the interfaces they said this for as the added dimension of the reason is not attributed to a specific interface). We are being asked to find the total number of users.

S1) Not sufficient, no information given about the number of users which use neither.

S2) Sufficient - if you see that 144 = exactly 1 + neither, then knowing that neither is equal to both allows you to see that 144 is the total number of users. Sufficient.

Okay so there are some users, let's say 'T' users total

Some users have chosen both interfaces, some have chosen neither, and some have chosen only one.

96+48=144 have selected 'Would not Use'

Now here, important to note: This 144 will not have any of the users that have said 'Would use' to Both interfaces.
Let, people who said Would use to both interfaces=B

It will have users who have said 'Would not use' to both interfaces counted twice (as they said would not use for both)
Let people who will use neither interface=N

And have users who said 'Would use' for exactly one interface one time.
Let people who said 'Would use' to one interface and 'Would not use' to the other one =O

Since users who selected 'Would use' one time, also must have selected 'Would Not use' one time.
Let people who said 'Would not Use' for Interface 1= U1
Let people who said 'Would not use' for Interface 2= U2
U1+U2=O

T=B+N+O

Evaluation statement 1-
B=60.
Since we don't know anything about N or O, statement is insufficient.

Statement 2-
B=N
This gives us-
T=2B + O or T=2N+O
Since we have no info on N, or O, statement not sufficient.

Let's combine both and see-
B=60 AND B=N

T=B+N+O

However, since we know that 'Would Not USe' was selected 144 times. And out of this, 'N' individual users will hit 'Would Not Use' Twice.
(Since every individual user that selected Neither selected both options under 'Would Not Use')
And 'O' represents ONE neither PER USER.
Hence,
2N+O=144
2(60)+O=144
O=144-120
O=24

Now that we have N,B and O, we can get T.

Both statement together are sufficient.

Ans: C

Each user has two votes, and can choose either yes/no.
Total no votes=96+48=144
We have to find the total number of users.

(1)
Users who voted both interfaces as yes=60
We do not know how many voted no to one, and how many voted no to both. Not sufficient.

(2)
Users who voted both interfaces as yes=Users who voted both interfaces as no.
We do not know the value, and hence cannot find the number of users who voted no to one of the interfaces. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2)
Users who voted both interfaces as yes=Users who voted both interfaces as no=60
This would take up 60*2 = 120 no votes.
We still have (144-120)=24 no votes from users who voted no to either of the two interfaces.
Therefore, 24 users voted no to one of the two interfaces.

Total number of users=Both yes + Both no + One of the two as no = 60+60+24=144 users

(C)

Given information in the question stem:
- 2 app interfaces
- A set of users test them
- They can tell if they would use or not use a particular interface
- If they choose not to use a particular interface, then they can give exactly one of two reasons (slow loading or confusing navigations)
- Users who give the slow loading reason = 96
- Users who give confusing navigation reason = 48
We need to find total number of users who were testing.

Now right from the stem, we can look at it and think of three possibilities:
There is a certain set of users who would say they would use both interfaces (let this number be x)
Some would say they would use one of the two interfaces (let this be y)
Some would say they would use neither (let this be z)

We need to find x+y+z = ?

Now for the users who chose to not use atleast one interface, will have to give exactly one reason per interface.
The people who chose to use one of the two interfaces (y), will give no reason for the interface they chose and give one reason for the interface they chose not to use. Similarly, the people who chose to use neither (z) will give us one reason per interface (total 2 reasons) for not choosing a certain interface.
Also, we are given the total number of responses on reasons not to use is 96+48 = 144
Thus, we now know, y+2z = 144

Now lets come to the statements

Statement 1: It says that x = 60
while we know y + 2z, we can have multiple possibilities for y and z. Hence, we cannot definitively calculate the value of x+y+z
Thus, this statement is not sufficient. We can eliminate A and D

Statement 2: This says that x=z
Thus, x+y+z = z+y+z = y+2z = 144

Hence, this statement alone is sufficient.

Thus, we can choose (B) as the answer choice
