DS Question 2 - Dec 1
A number of oranges are to be distributed evenly among a number of baskets. Each basket will contain at least one orange. If there are 20 oranges to be distributed, what is the number of oranges per basket?
(1) If the number of baskets were halved and all other conditions remained the same, there would be twice as many oranges in every remaining basket.
(2) If the number of baskets were doubled, it would no longer be possible to place at least one orange in every basket.

The 20 oranges are divided evenly into baskets. This means there are either 1,2,4,5,10, or 20 baskets.
1) has many possible cases. For example if there was 10 baskets and we halved, or 4 baskets and we bavled. Insuff.
2)
The only possible case where there are more baskets per orange if the baskets are doubled is if the initial baskets are 20.
