Question

What percentage of families in the city have television? 
Statements: I. In the city, 50% of the families own houses. 
Statements: II. In the city, 25% of the house owners also own televisions.

• A. Statement I alone is sufficient to determine the answer
• B. Statement II alone is sufficient, but statement I alone is not sufficient
• C. Data in both the statements together are not sufficient
• D. Both statements I and II are needed

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Statement I provides information about house ownership but not about television ownership.
Statement II gives information about the proportion of house owners who own televisions, but it doesn’t provide the total number of families with televisions.
Neither statement provides the necessary data about the total number of families with televisions.
Therefore, both statements together are not sufficient to determine the percentage of families with televisions.
When analyzing percentage-related problems, ensure that the data provided directly connects to the quantity you're asked to calculate.
