Number in a list.

by atulkumar79 » Thu Jun 25, 2009 10:33 am
There are more than 2 numbers in a certain list, is each of the numbers in the list equal to 0?

(1) The product of any 2 numbers in the list is equal to 0.

(2) The sum of any 2 numbers in the list is equal to 0.


This question came up in the official gmat prep test. I chose A but the prep software says B.

IMO B.

statement 1 saying that sum product of any 2 numbers in the list is equal to 0 this could not be true in every case for ex..0,0,0,2.

Statement 2 saying that sum of any two numbers is equal to 0,that means
whenever we add any number the total is 0.Sufficeint.
