FRESH GMAT CLUB QUESTION:



Three people Ann, Bob and Colin have a total of $1.80 between them, each having a different amount. Does Ann have the most money?

(1) Ann has $0.6
(2) Bob has $0.5

Official Solution:


Three people Ann, Bob and Colin have a total of \($ 1.80\) between them, each having a different amount. Does Ann have the most money?

(1) Ann has \($0.6\)

\(a+b+c=180\) (in cents)

\(60+b+c=180\)

\(b+c=120\)

Since we are told that each has a different amount, then Bob must have less than \( $ 0.6\) and Colin must have more than \($ 0.6\) (or vise-versa). Thus, Ann does not have the most money. Sufficient.

(2) Bob has \($0.5\)

\(a+b+c=180\) (in cents)

\(a+50+c=180\)

\(a+c=130\)

Ann can have the most money (say \(a=$1\) and \(c=$ 0.3\)). It is also possible that she does not have the most money (say \(a=$ 0.3\) and \(c=$ 1\)) . Not sufficient.

We'll translate our question into equations to understand what we need to do.
This is a Precise approach

We're told that A + B + C = $1.8 and asked if A > B and A > C.
(1) So B + C = $1.2. Say B has less than $0.6, than C must have more than $0.6.
Since this is also true the other way around, then Ann can't have the most money so the answer to our question stem is NO.
Sufficient.

(2) So A + C = $1.3. Let's try making A largest: A = $1.3 and C = 0. Works! Now let's try making A smallest - A = 0 and C = $1.3. Also works!
Insufficient.

(A) is our answer.

Avg is 1.8/3=0.6

Statement 1:
Ann having 0.6.
Now since all three have different amount there is definitely going to be somebody above Ann and somebody below Ann as well.
Ann would be having the middle amount or the median amount.
Thus SUFFICIENT.

Statement 2:
Now Bob is having less than mean amount or 0.5 Ann could have the median amount or the highest amount.
Thus INSUFFICIENT.
