Not necessarily

In the original condition, we have to find out all elements of the set S. Since there are many variables, there is a high chance that E is the correct answer. Using 1) & 2), we get S={16}. The answer is yes. When S={4}, the answer is no and the condition is not sufficient. Hence, the correct answer is E.

- Forget conventional ways of solving math questions. In DS, Variable approach is the easiest and quickest way to find the answer without actually solving the problem. Remember equal number of variables and independent equations ensures a solution.
