What should generally be expected if you venture into areas surrounding a road closure?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. With a major G20 event happening at the Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium tonight and reports of road closures in the area, there’s a strong likelihood of congestion.<\/li>
  2. Given the large number of attendees expected at an event at the Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium tonight, shuttle buses will be provided between the stadium and the International Media Centre.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    • A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient but statement (2) ALONE is not sufficient.<\/li>
    • B. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient but statement (1) ALONE is not sufficient.<\/li>
    • C. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.<\/li>
    • D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.<\/li>
    • E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are not sufficient.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Understanding the Question<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Let’s examine what we’re being asked: “What should generally be expected if you venture into areas surrounding a road closure?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This asks for a general expectation<\/strong> when someone enters areas near road closures. The key word “generally” tells us we need information that definitively states what typically happens in such situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What makes a statement sufficient?<\/strong> It must provide clear, definitive information about what to expect near road closures – not just implications or partial information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Note: While this doesn’t follow the standard GMAT Data Sufficiency format (which typically involves mathematical or quantitative determinations), we’ll analyze it using DS principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Analyzing Statement 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Statement 1 tells us:<\/strong>
      “With a major G20 event happening at the Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium tonight and reports of road closures in the area, there’s a strong likelihood of congestion.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This directly answers our question! It explicitly states what to expect near the road closures: congestion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The statement provides a clear, definitive expectation for areas surrounding these particular road closures. When you venture into areas with road closures (due to the G20 event), you should expect congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      [STOP – Sufficient!]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Conclusion:<\/strong> Statement 1 is SUFFICIENT<\/strong> because it directly tells us what should be expected (congestion) when venturing into areas with road closures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This eliminates choices B, C, and E.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Analyzing Statement 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Now let’s forget Statement 1 completely and analyze Statement 2 independently.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Statement 2 tells us:<\/strong>
      “Given the large number of attendees expected at an event at the Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium tonight, shuttle buses will be provided between the stadium and the International Media Centre.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This gives us information about:
      – Large attendance expected at an event
      – Shuttle bus arrangements between two locations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      However, notice what’s missing – Statement 2 doesn’t even mention road closures<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      While we might try to infer that large attendance could mean traffic or crowds, the statement itself only discusses shuttle bus provisions. It doesn’t tell us anything about road closures or what to expect near them. Without any mention of road closures, this statement cannot answer a question specifically about expectations near road closures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Conclusion:<\/strong> Statement 2 is NOT SUFFICIENT<\/strong> because it doesn’t provide any information about what to expect near road closures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This eliminates choices B and D.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The Answer: A<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Since Statement 1 alone directly tells us what to expect near road closures (congestion), while Statement 2 alone provides no information about road closures at all, the answer is A<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Answer Choice A<\/strong>: “Statement 1 alone is sufficient, but Statement 2 alone is not sufficient.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
