1) X is an odd integer
2) X > Y
Target question:
What is the value of X?
Given: X and Y are two distinct integers and their product is 30
Statement 1: X is an odd integer
There are different sets of values that meet this condition. Here are two:
Case a:
X = 15 and Y = 2
Case b:
X = -5 and Y = -6
Since we cannot answer the
target question with certainty, statement 1 is NOT SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: X > Y
There are different sets of values that meet this condition. Here are two:
Case a:
X = 15 and Y = 2
Case b:
X = -5 and Y = -6
Since we cannot answer the
target question with certainty, statement 2 is NOT SUFFICIENT
Statements 1 and 2 combined:
Here are 2 different sets of values that meet the given conditions:
Case a:
X = 15 and Y = 2
Case b:
X = -5 and Y = -6
Since we cannot answer the
target question with certainty, the combined statements are NOT SUFFICIENT
Answer =
E
