Scratched my head a bit, but a better solution than mine should be there I believe...

Suppose there are x people with P weight each.. their avg is P...

Now Sally comes.. 105 Pounds decreases the avg by 6 pounds...

Means makes it P-6...

This means 105 needs to add 6 pounds x number of people to become P

And same goes for Harry who needs to remove 12 pounds x no of people to become P...
As they have added 12 to each the members...

Equation becomes.. 105 + 6x = 195 -12x
X we get 5, input 5 in any of the equation.. answer is 135...


Answer is B..

Critical Reasoning Butler: August 2025

___________________________________
CR 1

Last year, Energy Corp’s oil sales increased suddenly in the region of lower Ossamia. The Chief Financial Officer of the company explained this increase as the result of industrialization in the developing Ossamian nation of Kokua. He predicts that, consequently, trade made possible by industrialization will grow between Kokua and its Ossamian neighbors this year, leading to further increases in Energy Corp sales in the region.

Each of the following, if true, provides some support for the CFO’s prediction described above EXCEPT:

A. Although non-Ossamian countries have a military and trade presence in Ossamia, their oil sales last year in the region were not significantly above normal levels.

B. Mines accessing Kokua’s rich natural resources were put into operation for the first time last year.

C. Each of the Ossamian countries currently have few restrictions in place on the business that can be done with its neighboring countries.

D. One of Energy Corp’s primary competitors had a tanker accident early last year that caused environmental damage in Ossamia and damaged the company’s standing in the area.

E. One of Ossamia’s neighbors, a developing nation, has a growing population with a reasonable amount of disposable wealth.

CR 2

It is posited by some scientists that the near extinction of the sap-eating gray bat of northwestern America was caused by government-sponsored logging operations in the early 1920s that greatly reduced the species’ habitat.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly weakens the scientists’ claims?

(A) Logging operations in the 1920s are widely held responsible for the near extinction of other species that lived in the same area.

(B) A boom in new home construction in the early 1920s led congress to open federal lands to logging operations.

(C) A 5-year drought in the early 1920s severely reduced the output of sap in trees in northwestern America.

(D) Numbers of sightings of sap-eating gray bats fell to their lowest numbers in 1926.

(E) Sightings of sap-eating gray bats in Europe stayed roughly the same during the same period.

B?
1-10
3 Slips chosen
One of them is 7..

Stat 1.
Sum of two numbers chosen is 16...
Now there can be 2 cases in this...
Either 16 is with number 7 or 16 is excluding the number 7.
So...
If with 7.. then sum can be anything as second slip will be 9 and third can be 1 or 2 or 3

If without 7 then total will be 23... but we already got multiple answers so insufficient...

2. Sum of two numbers is 14.. Now this 14 has to be without 7... because if 7 is there then the remaining slip is 7 and we don’t have 2 slips of the same number...
So 2 slips total is 14, the third is 7... we’ll get the sum.
sufficient answer B.

______________________________________
CR 1

Because they can craft objects of a new design without having extrusion fittings custom-designed for that purpose, 3D printers have an application in building prototypes of new models of objects long before those new models are on production lines, and it was on this basis that they first captured the interest of the market. However, suitability for prototyping does not limit 3D printers to prototyping, and in fact their capability to craft items without specialized fittings for each design can allow them, in essence, to be the production line. 3D printers have this natural application to mass-production in part because they can produce items at a cost competitive with that of production lines.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A. The first and the second each describe evidence that has been used to challenge the position that the argument seeks to establish.

B. The first is evidence that forms the basis for an objection to the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is that position.

C. The first is evidence that forms the basis for an objection to the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is a consideration that is introduced to counter the force of that evidence.

D. The first and the second each provide evidence in support of the position that the argument seeks to establish.

E. The first provides evidence in support of the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is that position.
______________________________________
CR 2

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

Loans extended from banks to individuals can allow individuals to take well-measured financial risks or pay off existing debts that carry higher interest rates. However, more aggressive banks extend freely to individuals loans that are too large for those individuals to pay back foreseeably, causing other problems. Therefore, the creation of a new department to monitor and restrict banks would benefit public well-being, since _______________.

A. the new department would aim to restrict only aggressive lending

B. aggressive banks cause individuals to establish less overall debt than credit card companies do

C. other banks, while not aggressive, may still ultimately extend more total dollars in loans to individuals than aggressive banks

D. the loans of aggressive banks to borrowers other than individuals, such as businesses, can also cause problems

E. other measures to curb aggressive banks might have the inadvertent effect of preventing deserving individuals from getting the loans they need
