X - fraction of products Jane inspected
(1 - X) - fraction of products John inspected
0.8(X) + 0.5(1-X) = 0.75
0.3X = 0.75 - 0.5
X = 0.25/0.3
X = 5/6
Therefore the answer is D: 5/6.
(1 - X) - fraction of products John inspected
0.8(X) + 0.5(1-X) = 0.75
0.3X = 0.75 - 0.5
X = 0.25/0.3
X = 5/6
Therefore the answer is D: 5/6.

IMO D 5/6
Basically you have the formula
0.8x+0.6y=0.75T
x=products jane rejected
y=products John rejected
T=total
i.e 8x+5y=7.5T
Now you just need to try different number to see which one will fit here.
Put x=1/6T y=5/6T (1-1/6T)
you get 8(1/6)+5(5/6) = 33/6 < 7.5 does not match with 7.5
try x=5/6T y=1/6T
8(5/6)+5(1/6)=45/6=7.5 matches so thats your answer.
You can plugin other numbers but it wont give you the exact 7.5
I have seen many GMAT problem including DS where you have to plugin numbers.
consider kudos if you like the answer.
