Jason went to a supermarket to buy two varieties of chocolates. If the two varieties cost $30 and $15 per chocolate respectively, and he bought at least one chocolate of each variety, did he buy more $30 chocolates than $15 chocolates?
I. Jason spent $90 on buying the chocolates.
II. The money spent by Jason on buying $30 chocolates was twice the money he spent on $15 chocolates.

IMO D
from the statement 1
total spent = 90
he need to by atleast 1 $30 amd 1 $15 chocolate
so money left is $45
now he can by only 1 more $30 and 1 more $15 chocolate
so here the no of chocolates bought is equal
so answer is no
sufficient
staywment 2
he spent twice on 30 choclate than on 15 choclate
which means again he can buy equal no of choxolates
answer is no
sufficinet
So IMO D

Given:-
Let X - No of 30$ Chocolates and Y - No of 15$ Chocolate
As he bought at least one chocolate of each variety ; X >=1 and Y>=1
Question :-
Is X > Y
S1-- 30 X + 15 Y = 90
Pl note X and Y are integers .
Let X=1 then Y = 4 .....X<Y ---NO
Let X=2 Then Y =2 ....X=Y...NO
Let X=3 Then Y=0 But this case is not possible as Y >=1
Hence for all possible value of X and Y ; either X=Y or X<Y
Hence Is X > Y ----Definite NO--- S1 is suffucuient
S2:-
30 X = 2 (15Y) -------> 30 X=30Y ----->X=Y
Hence Is X > Y ----Definite NO--- S2 is suffucuient
Hence D
Note:- Given the constraint , DS problem with two variable can be solved using single equation also as done in S1.
