Hi,
From(1): K+150 lies in [400,499]
So, K lies in [250,349]
Hundreds digit of K can be 2 or 3
Not sufficient
From(2): K+25 has 7 as tens digit
So, K has 4 or 5 as tens digit
Not sufficient
Both(1)&(2):if K = 250, hundreds digit is 2
if K is 345, hundreds digit is 3
Not sufficient
Hence, E

a 250+150 = 400 or 300+150 = 450 so 2,3 possible. not sufficient.
b 150,245 or 255 is possible. not sufficient.
a+b 250 is possible. 345 is also possible as 345+25 = 370. 345+150 495.
not sufficient.
E it is.
