I think you have the question wrong....
(2) The perimeter of floor X is 16 meters.
(1) Only one digit in the telephone number is greater than X.
(2) X is the greatest of the digits not among the telephone number’s first six digits.
There can be only one statement for (2)... which one to consider?

I will go for D. Because from 1 also, u can get the value of X. In the number, there is only digit greater than X. As 9 is the greatest, X should be 8.
And for stmt-2, Sankruth has already mentioned the reason ...

From St 1, X could be 7 or 8. So INSUFF.camitava wrote:I will go for D. Because from 1 also, u can get the value of X. In the number, there is only digit greater than X. As 9 is the greatest, X should be 8.
