Data Sufficiency — Company sales: Determine the total sale amount in ₹ for the company. Statement I: The company sold 8000 units of product A, each costing ₹25. Statement II: The company has no other product line (i.e., sells only product A). Decide which statements are sufficient to answer the question. Choose the correct sufficiency option.

Difficulty: Easy

Statement I alone is sufficient, but Statement II alone is not sufficient.
Statement II alone is sufficient, but Statement I alone is not sufficient.
Both statements I and II together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
Either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient.
Even both statements I and II together are not sufficient.

Correct Answer: Both statements I and II together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.

Explanation:

Goal
Find the total sale of the company.

Evaluate Statement I
Revenue from product A = 8000 × ₹25 = ₹200,000.But this is the company's total sale only if no other products are sold. I alone does not assure that.

Evaluate Statement II
Company sells only product A.No quantity/price given ⇒ cannot compute total sale.

Together (I + II)
Only product A is sold (II) and its quantity and price are known (I): total sale = ₹200,000.

Common pitfall
Assuming Statement I implies total sale without confirming there are no other product lines.

Final Answer
Both statements I and II together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient.
