If we know r is in K, then we know r+1 is in K. So if 50 is in K, we know that 51 is in K, but then we know 52 is in K, and 53 is in K, and so on, so 100 will be in K. So Statement 1 is sufficient.

From Statement 2, we know 150 is in K, so we know 151, 152, 153 etc are also in K. But we don't know anything about values smaller than 150. It's possible the set is just this infinite set:

150, 151, 152, 153, 154, ...

but it could also be, say, the set of all positive integers. So Statement 2 is not sufficient.
