Out of 45 chefs judging desserts, 25 liked crème brûlée and 30 liked éclairs. How many chefs liked both desserts?
(1) Three times as many chefs liked both desserts as those who did not like either of the desserts.
This means:
Substituting into the previous equation:
Sufficient.
(2) 5 chefs did not like either of the desserts.
This means:
Substituting into the previous equation:
Sufficient.
Answer: D.
{Total} = {crème brûlée} + {éclairs} - {both} + {neither}
45 = 25 + 30 - both + neither
{both} - {neither} = 10
45 = 25 + 30 - both + neither
{both} - {neither} = 10
(1) Three times as many chefs liked both desserts as those who did not like either of the desserts.
This means:
{both} = 3 * {neither}
Substituting into the previous equation:
3 * {neither} - {neither} = 10
{neither} = 5
{both} = 3 * {neither} = 15.
{neither} = 5
{both} = 3 * {neither} = 15.
Sufficient.
(2) 5 chefs did not like either of the desserts.
This means:
{neither} = 5
Substituting into the previous equation:
{both} - {neither} = 10
{both} - 5 = 10
{both} = 15
{both} - 5 = 10
{both} = 15
Sufficient.
Answer: D.

Given that ,
Total desert = 45
Total people liked rème brûlée (R) = 25,
Total people like éclairs (E) = 30.
Asked to find who liked Both R & E(C).
Total people who don't like any desert ( N ) = N?( not given in the quesiton )
This quesiton resemeble venn diagram scenario, By using veen diagram we can solve this quesiton in easier way.
Total desert = R + E - C + N -> Equation 1
statement 1: Three times as many chefs liked both desserts as those who did not like either of the desserts.
given C = 3N
By keeping this value in equaiton 1, we can get value of C. Therfore statement 1 is corrrect , So possible answer is A & D.
Statement 2: 5 chefs did not like either of the desserts.
Given N = 5, by substuting this value in eqution 1, we can find value of c , so Statement 2 is correct.
Therefore Option D is correct answer
