What was the cost of a certain telephone call?

(1) The call lasted 8 minutes.

(2) The cost of the first minute of the call was $0.32, which was twice the cost of each minute of the call after the first.


Statement 1 - Duration of the call is given but not the cost
Insufficient

Statement 2 - Cost is given but not duration of the call

Combining 1 and 2

We have both cost and duration of the call

must be C

(1) is not sufficient.
(2) 0.32+0.16t, where t is the time in minutes. Also insufficient.

(1)&(2): sufficient.

(i) alone is insufficient as it is not giving any information about cost per minute or sec.
(ii) alone is insufficient as it is not giving any information about timing of call.
combination of (i) and (ii) is sufficient.

(1) The call lasted 8 minutes.

(2) The cost of the first minute of the call was $0.32, which was twice the cost of each minute of the call after the first.

To Find : Cost
We know Cost = Time * Rate

Statement 1 :

Time is given , but we get no information about the Rate -Not Sufficient

Statement 2 :

Rate is given , but we get no information about the Time -Not Sufficient

Combining 1 and 2 :

Cost = (First Minute * 0.32) + 7 * 0.16
Cost = 0.32 + 1.12
Cost = 1.44 Rs

Sufficient

Option C
