1.C=1 & CDE=24
2.D/C=4 & D/E=2/3.

Thanks
Archit
IOM C

C,D,E are one digit numbers, find E

st(1) C=1, DE=24 D and E belong to {3,4,6,8} => hence multiple values for D and E, Not sufficient
st(2) D/C=4 & D/E=2/3 (also 4/6, keep for note') => C/D=1/4 & E/D=3/2 => C/E=1/6 => C/D/E=1:4:6 => we are given only ratios, no single value or total value is known therefore Not sufficient

Combining st(1&2) D=4 and DE=24, therefore E=6, >>>> test C/D/E=1:4:6, Sufficient

my answer is B
(1) st clearly insuff
(2) d/c=4 we have two pairs for d,c
d=4,c=1, and d=8,c=2

for d/e=2/3 options are following
e=3,d=2 or e=6,d=4, or e=9,d=6

here we have matched values only in one case e=6. d=4.c=1

here we have matched values only in one case e=6. d=4.c=1
clock you select the set e=6,d=4 arbitrarily => we don't know what's c-? you could also select e=-3,d=-2 for d or all other opposite pairs possible, we need c at the end point. your's B is based on assumption +ve for all numbers
st(1) suggests c=1 and leads to solution.

my final thought is C

what's OA?

The official answer( as per Grockit) is B. I think it should be C

1.C=1 & CDE=24
2.D/C=4 & D/E=2/3.
Statement 1: C = 1 and CDE = 24
Thus DE = 24 = 3*8 = 4*6
Possible values of (D, E) are: (3, 8), (4, 6), (6, 4) and (8, 3)

Not sufficient

Statement 2: D/C = 4 and D/E = 2/3
Possible values of (C, D) are: (1, 4) and (2, 8)
Possible values of (D, E) are: (2, 3), (4, 6) and (6, 9)
As values of D must be same in both cases, only possible values of (C, D, E) are: (1, 4, 6)

Sufficient

The correct answer is B.

Note: The above solution is based on the assumption that the "one digit numbers" are positive. If negative numbers are considered then one more set of values for (C, D, E) is possible for statement 2, which is (-1, -4, -6). And thus C should be the answer.

the problem doesn't specify +ve for numbers, therefore I chose C. With B why don't we make other assumptions too and select D or A?

Because generally when some number is said as "n-digit number" we consider positive numbers only. For example there are various questions like:
  • "How many 2 digit numbers are there with different digits?"
    • While solving this question we don't consider the negative numbers like -51 or -89 etc.
I agree that the numbers are "positive" should be mentioned for clarification, but it is a very common practice. Keep an eye for digits related combinatorics problems. You'll find that most of the time "positive" is not mentioned and all of us don't bother about it. I believe this question is also framed on the same common practice.
