imo E
It is obvious how each stmnt individually is insufficient.
Now 10s digit could be either 5 or 4
If you add 150 to 'K' if the tens digit is 4, it is ok, but if it is 5, 1 will get carried over to the hundredths digit.
Hence, the hundredths digit could be 3 or 2.

Using statement 1:
K+150 = 4XY
Where XY will be another two digits.
If K = 250, 250+150 = 400, will give me hundred digit of 2 for K
If K = 349, 349+150 = 499, will give me hundred digit of 3 for K
Perform similar operation using 2nd statement:
If K = 250, 250+25 = 375, will give me tenth 7and hundred digit of 2 for K
If K = 349, 349+25 = 374, will give me tenth 7 and hundred digit as 3 for k
Combining both two doesnt solve for unique no, so option E
