Â½ n + 13 = 0 => n=-26.
a) largest =13. but maybe all others are -26 or none of them is -26. insufficient
b) maybe numbers are -5,5,-5,-5 and so on. or maybe numbers are -26,26,-26,26... insufficient
a&b) maybe numbers are 13,-13,13,-13....
or maybe numbers are -26,13,13,5,-3,-2,4,-4,4,-4. Insufficient
IMO E
