The question -
Statement 1 -
suppose Red Sedan = x
So, blue coupes = 3x
No proper equation can be formed that can lead to a solution. NOT Sufficient.
Statement 2 -
suppose Blue coupes = x
So, blue Sedan = \(\frac{x}{2}\)
So, \(\frac{x}{2}+x=4500\)
\(=> x = 3000\)
The table stands -
Nothing can be formed without any more data. NOT Sufficient.
Combining statements 1 and 2 -
red sedan is one-third of blue coupe. So table stands -
So total coupes sold last year was 6500.
So option C is the answer
| Sedans | Coupes | Total | |
| Red | 4500 | ||
| Blue | 4500 | ||
| Total | ? | 9000 |
Statement 1 -
suppose Red Sedan = x
So, blue coupes = 3x
| Sedans | Coupes | Total | |
| Red | x | 4500 | |
| Blue | 3x | 4500 | |
| Total | ? | 9000 |
Statement 2 -
suppose Blue coupes = x
So, blue Sedan = \(\frac{x}{2}\)
| Sedans | Coupes | Total | |
| Red | 4500 | ||
| Blue | \(\frac{x}{2}\) | x | 4500 |
| Total | ? | 9000 |
So, \(\frac{x}{2}+x=4500\)
\(=> x = 3000\)
The table stands -
| Sedans | Coupes | Total | |
| Red | 4500 | ||
| Blue | 1500 | 3000 | 4500 |
| Total | ? | 9000 |
Combining statements 1 and 2 -
red sedan is one-third of blue coupe. So table stands -
| Sedans | Coupes | Total | |
| Red | 1000 | 3500 | 4500 |
| Blue | 1500 | 3000 | 4500 |
| Total | 2500 | 6500 | 9000 |
So option C is the answer
