1. X>450

460 : yes
510 : no

not sufficient

2. X>550.

We cannot have a value less than 5 in any number. Sufficient

IMO : B

1). X>450
2). X>550
(1) x > 450
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.
