Solution
Step 1: Analyse Question Stem
• Let’s assume that maximum temperature in City A on Saturday, May 14 is T°
So, we need to find the value of T.
Step 2: Analyse Statements Independently (And eliminate options) – AD/BCE
Statement 1: The maximum temperature on Saturday, May 14, was 5° greater than the maximum temperature in city A on Sunday, May 8.
- • Let us assume that the maximum temperature in city A on Sunday, May 8 is t°
• \(T = t+5\)
Hence, statement 1 is not sufficient and we can eliminate answer options A and D
Statement 2: The average (arithmetic mean) of the maximum daily temperatures in city A from Sunday, May 8, to Saturday, May 14, was 72°, which was 2° less than the average (arithmetic mean) of the maximum daily temperatures in city A, from Monday, May 9, to Friday, May 13.
- • (t + (the sum of the maximum daily temperatures in city A, from Monday, May 9, to Friday, May 13) + T)\(/ 7 = 72 ……………. Eq. (1)\)
• (the sum of the maximum daily temperatures in city A, from Monday, May 9, to Friday, May 13.)\(/5 = 80 \)
- o (the sum of the maximum daily temperatures in city A, from Monday, May 9, to Friday, May 13.) \(= 5*80……………Eq. (2)\)
- o \( t + 5*80 + T = 7*72\)
o Or, \(t + T = 7*72 – 5*80\)
Step 3: Analyse Statements by combining.
- • From statement 1: \(T = t + 5\)
• From statement 2: \( t + T = 8 (63- 50)\)
- o Or, \(t + T = 8*13 \)
Thus, the correct answer is Option C

Pretty tricky. The answer is C. This is how I thought about it. Let me know if you think my solution is OK!
What was the maximum temperature in city A on Saturday, May 14?
(1) The maximum temperature on Saturday, May 14, was 5° greater than the maximum temperature in city A on Sunday, May 8.
Clearly insufficient.
(2) The average (arithmetic mean) of the maximum daily temperatures in city A from Sunday, May 8, to Saturday, May 14, was 72°, which was 2° less than the average (arithmetic mean) of the maximum daily temperatures in city A, from Monday, May 9, to Friday, May 13.
Equation time.
Let X be the average temperature during that 7 day stretch.
Let Y be te average temperature during that 5 day stretch.
X = 72 = [Sunday + Mon + Tues + Wednes + Thurs + Friday + Saturday] / 7
Y = 72 + 2 = 74
Insufficient because we still end up with Sunday + Saturday which have unknown temperatures.
Combined
X = 72 = [Sunday + Y + Saturday] / 3 = [Sunday + 74 + (Sunday + 5)] / 3
Solve for Sunday then Saturday.
Sufficient.
