Answer / kushal
X:Y=2:1
=> X=2Y
Lets consider point 1 alone
X + Y = 240
3Y = 240
Y = 80
Nothing can be concuded further from point 1 alone
Now lets consider point 2 alone
number of X tickets purchased = 60% of X
= 0.6X = 1.2Y (since X=2Y)
number of Y tickets purchased = 80% of Y
= 0.8Y
total tickets purchased = 1.2Y + 0.8Y = 2Y
total number of tickets = X + Y = 2Y + Y = 3Y
% of tickets purchased = (2Y/3Y)*100 = 66.66%

Answer / sakshi gupta
X/Y=2/1
SO X=2Y
X+Y=240
SO, 2Y+Y=240
THEREFORE, Y=80 AND X=160
PURCHASED ARE== 60/100X+80/100Y
SO CAN EASILY FIND OUT
SO C) IS THE ANSWER

Answer / anurag
Since "what percentage was purchased" is asked it means we obviously need the total number of tickets so PART 1 is needed.
Now, to determine the number of tickets purchased( Both X and Y) we again obviously need PART 2.
Alone no PART can give solution to problem.
So answer is C.
X=2Y
So, 3y=240.
X=80 and Y=160.
Now 0.6 of X is purchased so purchased ticket=96 and
0.8 of Y is purchased so here purchased ticket = 64.
%PURCHASED = (96+64)/240.

Answer / aayushi khandelwal
I think b should be answer.
as x:y=2:1 (given)
let x be 200 & y be 100.
now,60% of 200 is 120 and 80% of 100 is 80. Accordingly 200 out of 300 tickets were sold that is 66.67%.In this way 1) is not required .Also if we take x= 2y (x & y be tickets sold of concerts X & Y)
Tickets sold of x concert be 12y/10(60 % of 2y) and of y concert be 8y/10 (80% of y).total tickets sold are 2y out of 3y.It also gives you 66.67%.

The son of a rich bullion merchant left home on the death of his father. All he had with him was a gold chain that consisted of 138 links. He rented a place in the city center with a shop at the lower level and an apartment at the upper level. He was required to pay every week one link of the gold chain as rent for the place. The landlady told him that she wanted one link of the gold chain at the end of one week, two gold links at the end of two weeks, three gold links at the end of three weeks and so on. The son realized that he had to cut the links of the gold chain to pay the weekly rent. If the son wished to rent the place for 138 weeks, what would be the minimum number of links he would need to cut?
