(1) x > 450sud21 wrote:100<X<1000, does integer x have a digit greater than 5?
1). X>450
2). X>550
Since x is greater than 450 and less than 1000, so x can be 490 (here 9 is greater than 5)or x can be 453 (no digit is greater than 5).
x may or may not have a digit greater than 5, no definite answer; NOT sufficient.
(2) x > 550
Since x is greater than 550 and less than 1000, so x can be 551 (no digit is greater than 5)or x can be 990 (here 9 is greater than 5).
x may or may not have a digit greater than 5, no definite answer; NOT sufficient.
Combining (1) and (2), again we do not get a definite answer; NOT sufficient.
The correct answer should be E.
