if solution (x) with alcohol (14%) and solution (y) with alcohol %(20%) mixed together to form 24 liters of mixture .then the amount of solution(x) is?

a) the alcohol in solution(mixture) is 15%
b)if we enter changed the amounts of solutions 'x' and 'y' we get mixture of alcohol %,44%

• only (a) is necessary to answer the question.
  because (b) is practically impossible, u can never get 44% by mixing these two together.
  
  (as simple as that) ;)

• Either a or b.
  
  x + y = 24
  14% of x + 20% of y = 15% of 24

• statement itself is sufficient
  no need of a or b

• x^2-x-3=0
  so 2 solution

• how can u say that either a or b.....if a+b=24
  it can be either 12+12=24
  or like......16+8=24 can take any combo
  so acc to me neither is sufficient

• Though we can make equations using either of the statements; But upon solving either of these equations, the answer is hypothetical. either 'X' or 'Y' comes negative which can't be true.
  
  Hence: Data Insufficient

• Correct option is: A
  Statement 1 is sufficient to answer this question.
  Statement 2 cannot be used .
