I’m up to question #80 of 170 data sufficiency questions and they’re getting really, really hard and I’m struggling with them (lol).
Mary persuaded n friends to donate $500 each to her election campaign, and then each of these n friends persuaded n more people to donate $500 each to Mary’s campaign. If no one donated more than once and if there were no other donations, what was the value of n?
Statement 1: The first n people donated 1/16 of the total amount donated.
Statement 2: The total amount donated was $120,000
(a) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
(b) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient to answer the question asked.
(c) BOTH statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question asked, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
(d) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked.
(e) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question asked, and additional data specific to the problem are needed.
What the heck is even going on in that question?
It’s crunch time at work and I love it! Busy is the best. Downtime gives me anxiety.
