How many doctors are practising in this town ?
Statements:
1. There is one doctor per seven hundred residents.
2. There are 16 wards with each ward having as many doctors as the number of wards.
Answer: B
From 1, total number of doctors in town = (1/700 x N) , where N = total number of residents in town. But, the value of N is not known.
From 2, total number of doctors in town
= (Number of wards in town) x (Number of doctors in each ward)
= 16 x 16 = 256.
