Data Sufficiency

Thanks

That can't happen on a real GMAT question (though it may happen in some poorly designed test prep company questions). On the real GMAT, the two statements must always be logically compatible, so that it's logically possible to consider both statements together. If, for example, the first statement gives you a definite 'yes', then the second statement will either give you a definite 'yes', (the answer would then be D), or a 'maybe yes, maybe no' (the answer would then be A). The second statement could not possibly give you a 'definite no'.
