Num Prop

Answer is D.
If the number contains 5 and 2 as one of the prime factors, the number will be a multiple of 10.
A tells us that number contains 7, 5, and 2 as prime factors and we can say that units place will be zero
B tells us that there are five 5s and seven 2s and we can conclude that not only units digit, but also tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands digit will also be zero

What makes you start out with prime numbers? Thanks.

A note about dealing with statement (2).

We can use statement (2) to calculate the value of N. Lord knows we don't want to do so, but we could if we were really bored.

Since we can calculate the value of N, we can answer ANY question about N. So, without even thinking too much about (2), we know that it's going to be sufficient.

Solid question.

Prime numbers are the most IRREDUCIBLE forms of any given number.

So, for example 100 can be written as (2) (2) (5) (5)

There is no simpler form than this. So from here we can look at the properties of 100 very easily.

Another glaring clue in this question is that Statement 2 is already Prime factorised.
That should also tell us that Prime Factorisation is the way to go.
