Tough and Tricky questions: Word Problems.



In a school election, if each of the 900 voters voted for either Edith or Jose (but not both), what percent of the female voters in this election voted for Jose?

(1) Eighty percent of the female voters voted for Edith.
(2) Sixty percent of the male voters voted for Jose.



Kudos for a correct solution.


1) Sufficient - 20 % of female voters voted for Jose
2) in sufficient - No connection to female voters

shouldn't the answer be D? As for statement 2, if 60% are male voters who voted for Jose, then 40% are female voters who voted for Jose.

---------------------

No!

60% are MV who voted for Jose.
Therefore, 40% are MV who voted for Edith.

Statement 2 does not mention anything about female voters, hence the correct option is A.
