(1) x - y, with x > y, is a factor of x + y.

(2) x is of the order of 81 thousand and y is of the order of 54 thousand.

From what i understood from the question stem
we are looking for
x+y=k(x-y)

the problem will occur when x<y
then u will get a -ve number and that cannot be present in the sum of 2 +ve numbers...

statement 1 gives us exactly that... hence 1 is sufficient...

statement 2... the numbers could be anything so the difference will not always be present in the sum...

hence IMO A
