If s+t+u+x = 6 , none of these variables can be equal to 3, as it is impossible for the rest of them to be equal to 1: Thus two of them must be equal to 2 and the other two equal to 1. We can then conclude that r= 3

we can deduce as stated in the previous comment, that s+t+u+x = 6, then r must be 3 because both s and t are 1 and 2 (doesn't matter which).

for statement (1): v+z = 6, the only option is for both v and z to equal 3. given that no number can be repeated in any row or column, the only remaining cell that can equal 3 is r.
therefore, statement (1) is also sufficient by itself.
making the correct solution D
