What was the percent decrease in the price of MegaTek (MGTK) stock during the market decline of March 1, 2001, to March 1, 2002?

Asked (Pm1-Pm2)/Pm1*100 = ?

(1) The price of MGTK was $56.20 on March 1, 2001.

This gives us Pm1 = 56.20
As no info on Pm2
Hence insufficient

(2) The price of the stock on January 1, 2002, was only one-quarter of its price as of March 1, 2001.

This gives Pj2 = 1/3*Pm1

As no info can be derived for Pm1, Pm2 hence insufficient

(1) and (2)
Pm1 = 56.20
Pj2= 56.20/3

As Pm2 cannot be calculated
Hence insufficient

IMO Ans E

The correct answer is E

We need to find stock price on 1st March 2001 and 1st March 2002 to find the decrease.

Statement 1:
The price of MGTK was $56.20 on March 1, 2001. - Insufficient

Statement2:
The price of the stock on January 1, 2002, was only one-quarter of its price as of March 1, 2001. - Insufficient

Combining 1 and 2:
We will get the stock price as on 1st March, 2001 and 1st Jan, 2002. But we still don't have any information of the stock price as on 1st March, 2002 - Insufficient
