(2) The average number of pages Hachi read during the first 10 days is two more than twice the average number of pages read for the remainder of the days.
Asked is Hachi’s average number of pages read for 15 days
Statement 1:
(1) Hachi read an average of 22 pages during the first 10 days.
average number of pages for first 10 days = 22. Thus, the total pages = 22*10 = 220
The average or total pages is not known.
Hence insufficient Statement 2:
(2) The average number of pages Hachi read during the first 10 days is two more than twice the average number of pages read for the remainder of the days.
let the average number of pages for the last 5 days be A
average number of pages for first 10 days = 2A+2
Without knowing the value of A, it’s impossible to find The total average for 15 days.
Hence insufficient Combining both statements 1 and 2, we get 2A+2 = 22, solving we can get A = 10
Hence sufficient. Option C
