If a certain grove consists of 36 pecan trees, what
was the yield per tree last year?

(1) The yield per tree for the 18 trees in the northern
half of the grove was 60 kilograms last year.
(2) The yield per tree for the 18 trees in the eastern
half of the grove was 55 kilograms last year. 2.

I don´t know if the answer key is wrong but it says E.?? :?:
My choice was C, without doubting

Juan,

Yield per tree = Total yield / number of trees = Total Yield / 36.

From A,
Yield = Yield of 18 northern trees + Yield of 18 remaining trees yield
= 1080 kg + Yield of 18 remaining trees.

Thus Yield per tree can't be calculated.

From B,
Yield = Yield of 18 eastern trees + Yield of 18 remaining trees yield
= 990 kg + Yield of 18 remaining trees.

Thus Yield per tree can't be calculated.

Combine, and we don't know the common trees between the North-Eastern side. Besides, we miss out on the trees in the South-Western side.

Thus the yield cant be determined. Hence E.

Are you sure you're not taking the "Eastern" half to mean "Southern" half????
