Given: 60={Windows}+{Stereo}-{Both}+{Neither}.
Question: {Neither}=?

(1) Of the 60 cars sold, 20 had a stereo but not power windows --> {Stereo}-{Both}=20 --> 60={Windows}+20+{Neither}. Not sufficient.

(2) Of the 60 cars sold, 30 had both power windows and a stereo --> {Both}=30. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) We can find how many had stereo, but we still cannot get how many had neither power windows nor a stereo. Not sufficient.

_________________

Bunuel,
Can we not get the answer if we use Statement 1 & 2?

We know total for Stereo & No Stereo and we know the total for Power Windows and No Power Windows.
By taking the above information.. 30+x + 20 + x = 60 --> x=5 Plug in 5 and you have No Power Windows at 25. Which mean's the cars with No Stereo and Power Window is 5. Am I thinking too much into this question?

Dear roro555

Please refer to the statement in red above. It is not correct.

To explain why, have represented the information we get from St 1 + 2 in a matrix.

Looking at this table, it's easy to see that

We know the total for Power Windows and No PW only in terms of X, the unknown value we had to find.

From this table, the only thing we can say for sure is that X lies between 0 and 10, inclusive. But since the question had asked us about a unique value of X, and we haven't been able to find one, the correct answer will be Option E.

Hope this helped!

How many of the 60 cars sold last month by a certain dealer had neither power windows nor a stereo?

(1) Of the 60 cars sold, 20 had a stereo but not power windows.
(2) Of the 60 cars sold, 30 had both power windows and a stereo.

An easy way to solve this problem is to set up a double set matrix. In our matrix we have two main categories: power windows and stereo. More specifically, our table will be labeled with:

1) Power windows (PW)

2) No power windows (No PW)

3) Stereo

4) No stereo

(To save room on our table headings, we will use the abbreviations for some of these categories.)

We are given that a total of 60 cars were sold last month. We are trying to determine how many cars sold had neither power windows nor a stereo.

Let’s fill all this information into a table. Note that each row sums to a row total, and each column sums to a column total. These totals also sum to the grand total, designated by 60 at the bottom right of the table.

We need to determine the value for the question mark in the table.

Statement One Alone:

Of the 60 cars sold, 20 had a stereo but not power windows.

Let’s fill the information from statement one into our matrix.

Statement one does not provide enough information to answer the question. We can eliminate answer choices A and D.

Statement Two Alone:

Of the 60 cars sold, 30 had power windows and stereo.

Let’s fill the information from statement two into our matrix.

Statement two is insufficient to answer the question. Eliminate answer choice B.

Statements One and Two Together:

From statements one and two we know that of the 60 cars sold, 20 had a stereo but not power windows and that 30 had power windows and stereo. We can fill all this into our matrix.

We see that we still do not have enough information to determine how many cars sold had neither power windows nor a stereo.

I did this question using Venn diagrams rather than equations or matrix, is that a fine approach too considering i was able to solve it under 2 minutes?

Is the following approach correct???

We know that

T-N = A + B - k

1) 60-N= A+20 (since b-k is given as 20 ) therefore not sufficient

2) 60-N= A+B - 30 ( k=30 is given)
Therefore not sufficient

Combining 1 and 2

60-N= A+50-30 again not sufficient

Is this approach correct?

Waiting for a response!

How many of the 60 cars sold last month by a certain dealer had neither power windows nor a stereo?

Given: 60={Windows}+{Stereo}-{Both}+{Neither}.
Question: {Neither}=?

(1) Of the 60 cars sold, 20 had a stereo but not power windows --> {Stereo}-{Both}=20 --> 60={Windows}+20+{Neither}. Not sufficient.

(2) Of the 60 cars sold, 30 had both power windows and a stereo --> {Both}=30. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) We can find how many had stereo, but we still cannot get how many had neither power windows nor a stereo. Not sufficient.

_________________

Bunuel,
Can we not get the answer if we use Statement 1 & 2?

We know total for Stereo & No Stereo and we know the total for Power Windows and No Power Windows.
By taking the above information.. 30+x + 20 + x = 60 --> x=5 Plug in 5 and you have No Power Windows at 25. Which mean's the cars with No Stereo and Power Window is 5. Am I thinking too much into this question?

Is the following approach correct???

We know that

T-N = A + B - k

1) 60-N= A+20 (since b-k is given as 20 ) therefore not sufficient

2) 60-N= A+B - 30 ( k=30 is given)
Therefore not sufficient

Combining 1 and 2

60-N= A+50-30 again not sufficient

Is this approach correct?

Waiting for a response!
