Please see the revised question above.rintoo22 wrote:Please help. Question as Follows.

(1) P > 50
(2) 0 < Q < 20
Target question: is R < P ?
Statement 1: P > 50
Since there's no info about R, statement 1 is NOT SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: 0 < Q < 20
Since there's no info about R or P, statement 2 is NOT SUFFICIENT
Statements 1 and 2 combined:
There are several sets of values that meet both conditions. Here are two sets:
Case a: P=60, Q=10, R=10, in which case R < P
Case b: P=60, Q=0.5, R=120, in which case R > P
Since we cannot answer the target question with certainty, the combined statements are NOT SUFFICIENT
Answer = E
