(1) There are more zeros than the non-zero integers in the given list of five integers.

(2) Product of any two of the five integers is zero.

statement 1 : inconclusive. can be 4 zeros and 1 non zero. can be 3 zeros and 2 non zeros.

statement 2 : sufficient. each number has to zero in order to fulfill this condition.

IMO B.

The product of five integers is zero. How many of the five integers are zero?

(1) There are more zeros than the non-zero integers in the given list of five integers.
0, 0, 0, 2, 3
0, 0, 0, 0, 4
0, 0, 0, 0, 0

Insufficient

(2) Product of any two of the five integers is zero.

0, 0, 0, 0, 4
0, 0, 0, 0, 0

Can I consider all zero's? If can, then E

If cannot, then B

gooooooooood. forgot that point. it should be E.

Howdy! How D in any case?

IMO C

(1)
More zeroes than the non zeroes implies it could be 3 or 4. Hence Insuff

(2)
4 could be 0 or all could be zero

Combined
(1) implies there is at least 1 non zero integer, and from 2 we can gather that there are 4

Hence C

Why cannot all five be zero, according to statement (1)?

Well because of the following statement I did conclude the above

(1) There are more zeros than the non-zero integers in the given list of five integers.

But on second thought it can be 5 and 0 as 5>0. Hmm, the language did confuse me.
Now I think its E

@sanju bhai..

lovely question

@Prasad..lovely demystification!!

all 5 could be zeros....

@harsha..

seems we need to be careful man!!
Did u chk that post of nisha.menon dealing with service errors combined rate..even that is also awesome...
