We have # + @ = &, where #, @, and & each represents a distinct, positive digit and & is even

We have to get the value of #.

Let's take each statement one by one.

(1) # and @ are even and & = 6.

There are two possibilities: 1. # = 2 and @ = 4 and 2. # = 4 and @ = 2. No unique value of #. Insufficient.

(2) # < @

Certainly insufficient.

(1) and (2) together

From (1) and (2), we have # = 2 and @ = 4. Sufficient.

The correct answer: C

Hope this helps!
