If the units digit of the three-digit positive integer k is nonzero, what is the tens digit of k?
(1) The tens digit of k + 9 is 3.
(2) The tens digit of k + 4 is 2.

A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

IMO A

1) suff ; adding 9 to k will inc its 10th digit by 1; therefore its 2
2) not suff it can be 1 or 2
It does not matter how many times you get knocked down , but how many times you get up

statement 1) k can be xyz( z=1....9) ; if you add 9 irrespective of its value as in this case i.e z+9 will give you a value of 10 i.e 10th dig so k+9 will become a number of x(y+1)z ; whereas y+1=3 therefore y=2

hence 10th dig is 2

Statment 2) xyz when u add 4 to z carryover depends on value of z;i.e if z>5 then there is a carry over aand if z<5 then there will be no carry over ; so we get two values
hence not suff.
