Directions for Questions 73 – 77:


In each of the problems, a question is followed by two statements marked (A) and (B) containing certain data pertaining to the problem. You need to determine whether the data provided by the statements (A) and (B) are sufficient to answer the question from the four answer choices numbered (1), (2), (3) and (4).
