问题 The following data sufficiency problems consist of a question and two statements, labeled (1) and (2), in which certain data are given. You have to decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question. Using the data given in the statements plus your knowledge of mathematics and everyday facts (such as the number of days in July or the meaning of counterclockwise), you must indicate whether
   Ａ.  Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
   Ｂ.  Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
   Ｃ.  BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
   Ｄ.  EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
   Ｅ.  Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient. [br] MegaTech and UltraCorp are considering a merger to form the MegaUltraTech Corporation. Does MegaTech have more employees than UltraCorp?
   (1) The average (arithmetic mean) age of UltraCorp employees is 32.8, while the average age of MegaTech employees is 27.2.
   (2) If the merger goes through and all employees from both companies remain employed, the average (arithmetic mean) age of the MegaUltraTech employees will be 31.4.
选项
答案 C
解析 alone is insufficient, because it gives us no information about the number of employees at either company. (2) alone is insufficient for the same reason. If the two statements are combined, we are able to infer that there are more employees at UltraCorp than at MegaTech, because the average age of the employees of the combined company is closer to the previous UltraCorp average than to that of MegaTech.
