Hello all,

Please discuss the solution to the following DS question.
-----------------------------------------------------
What is the sum of 5 evenly spaced integers in a set?

(1)The median of the set of numbers is 0.
(2)The range of the numbers in the set is 4.

Statement (1) BY ITSELF is sufficient, but statement (2) by itself is not sufficient.
Statement (2) BY ITSELF is sufficient, but statement (1) by itself is not sufficient.
Both statements TAKEN TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement BY ITSELF is sufficient.
EACH statement BY ITSELF is sufficient.
The two statements TAKEN TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Statement (2) BY ITSELF is sufficient, but statement (1) by itself is not sufficient.
Both statements TAKEN TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement BY ITSELF is sufficient.
EACH statement BY ITSELF is sufficient.
The two statements TAKEN TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
(1) When we have an odd number of values (5 in this case) the median will be the value of the middle number. So, here the middle number of the 5 numbers must be 0.
This means, two numbers are greater than 0 and two numbers are less than 0.
Since the numbers are evenly spaced, the two positive values will have the same magnitude as the two negative numbers.
e.g., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 or -10, -5, 0, 5, 10 etc
As you can see, the sum of the 5 numbers will always be zero. So, statement (1) is SUFFICIENT

(2) Two conflicting sets of numbers:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 --> sum = 15
0, 1, 2, 3, 4 --> sum = 10
INSUFFICIENT

Answer = A

in number 2 :1,2,3,4,5 are not evenly spaced integer? so the reasoning is not correct. Correct me if i m wrong.

1,2,3,4,5 is the sequence of evenly spaced integers. Even spaced integers are nothing but the sequence of integers must have the same difference consecutively. Here, difference is 1 throughout the sequence. So, they are evenly spaced integers
