Question: 337

4. Question below refers to Figure 2, which shows the number of compact discs owned by five students.

Carl owns as many CDs as which two other students combined?

  • A. Abe and Ben
  • B. Ben and Dave
  • C. Abe and Ed
  • D. Abe and Dave

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D Check the graph. Carl owns 5 CDs, so the other two people together must own a total of 5 CDs. Eliminate (A) because Abe has 2 and Ben has 4, totaling 6. Eliminate (B) as well because Ben has 4 and Dave has 3, which is 7. Choice (C) is incorrect since Abe and Ed both have 2, so this amounts only to 4. Choice (D) works because Abe has 2 and Dave has 3, amounting to 5. The correct answer is (D).
