I Think the answer should be B

dkpkoti · Answer

Hi  Bunuel  - for statement 2- if Team B won 3 events, then Team A must have won the remaining 5 events, which makes Statement 2 sufficient on its own.
the question clearly states  There were no other teams competing, and there were no ties in any event.

Is my interpretation wrong?

Bunuel · Answer

The second statement does not say that Team B won ONLY the third, fourth, and fifth events; it could have won other events as well.
