sophia, please post this question in DS section.[email protected] wrote:How do you solve this one
I believe answer to your question is E , since we are talking about ratios not numbers and question does not tell us which one really increased. And do not forget to post the OA with your questions using the spoiler function.
I should have read carefully
It is E for Bonds
It is C for Stocks

STMT 1:
S / (S + B) increased.
This can happen a number of ways:
S can increase
B can decrease
INSUFF
STMT 2:
S + B increased
S could increase or B could increase
INSUFF
TOGETHER:
S/(S+B) Increased and S+B Increased
If S+B increased the only possible way for S/(S+B) to increase is if the numerator increased.
I go with C
