Question: 641

4. Figure 2 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:

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 both Abe and Ed have 2, so this only amounts to 4. Choice (D) works because Abe has 2 and Dave has 3, amounting to 5. There can be only one correct answer, so the correct answer is (D).
