8 . A list contains 11 consecutive intergers. what is the greatest integer on the list?

1) If x is the smallest integer on the list, then (x+72)^1/3=4
2) If x is the smallest intreger on the list, then 1/64=x^-2


Can anyone help? Correct answer will follow. :)

u get x=-8..since it is 11 consecutive numbers and x is the smallest the greatest integer can be calculated..SUFFICIENT.

from B
u get x=+/-8 so u cannot find the greatest integer.. hence INSUFF
so ans A
