1) k = 14

k^2 = 14*14 = 196

Let t = 3

196 / 3 = 65.33333333 which is not a terminal decimal.

Let t = 5

196 / 5 = 39.2 which is a terminating decimal.

Therefore 1) is not sufficient.

2) t = 5

You can check...any square when divided by 5 will give a terminating decimal.

Therefore answer = [spoiler]B)[/spoiler]
