Option Analysis
Let x be the amount of apple juice to be added.
Let y be the amount of cranberry juice in the container.
Question is x?
Statement I is insufficient: Given x = (3/2) y We don’t know anything about the total litres. So not sufficient.
Statement II is insufficient: No info about x.
Given that y = 5
Together I and II,
x = (3/2)*5 = 7.5
So sufficient.
