Question: Maximum markers that can be purchased in $18 = ?
STatement 1: 4 markers or 6 pens or 12 pencils can be purchased for $36
4 markers = 6 pen = 12 pencils = $36
ie.. for $18 onecan buy only 2 markers
SUFFICIENT
STatement 2: If the cost of each marker is increased by $3, 5 less markers can be purchased for $180
Let, cost of marker = c
and number of markers bought in $180 = x
180 = c*x
Also, 180 = (c+3)*(x-5)
i.e. c = 9 and x = 20
i.e. in $180, number of markers = 180/9 = 20
SUFFICIENT

Answer: Option D
Statement 1: 4 markers or 6 pens or 12 pencils can be purchased for $36
4 markers sold for 36$
\(=> \)2 markers = 36 / 2 = 18$
So, 2 markers can be sold for 18$
SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: If the cost of each marker is increased by $3, 5 less markers can be purchased for $180
(price of one marker) * (Num of markers) = 180$
After cost increased by 3$ each,
(price of one marker + 3) * (Num of markers - 5) = 180$
By solving above we can get:
\(=> \)price of one marker = 9$
\(=> \)Num of markers = 20
So, 18$ / 9$ = 2 (2 markers can be sold for 18$)
