Official Correct Choice:
Option C: both i and ii are needed
Concept: Data Sufficiency.

Formula: \(\text{Total} = \frac{\text{Known Count}}{\text{Fraction}}\)

Solution:

  • Statement (i) gives the fraction (\(1/2\)).


  • Statement (ii) gives the exact count (\(300\)).


  • Combined: \(\text{Total} = \frac{300}{0.5} = 600\text{ trees}\). Both statements are necessary.


Why other options are incorrect:

Options A and B: Neither statement alone provides both fraction and absolute number.
