This question is solved most easily with a matrix (see attached picture). We set up our different sets, totals, and the green box is the one we want to find.
Statement 1 (Chart 1): Twice as many members of the goup have a taxi license as have a chauffeur’s
license.
If you look at the chart, the only restrictions we know is that the group that has neither must be 0 (inferred from prompt). X and 2X could be any integer from 1 through 9. Insufficient.
Statement 2 (Chart 2): Eight members of the group have a chauffeur’s license.
Again, from the matrix there are several possibilities that would satisfy this. Insufficient
Combined: (Chart 3) When both of these restrictions are applied, we see that the number of drivers that can have both taxi and chauffeur licenses is 6. Sufficient.
