In the decimal representation of x, where 0 < x < 1, is the tenths digit if x nonzero?
(1) 16x is an integer.
(2) 8x is an integer.
A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
X could be any of the following values 0.1, 0.01, 0.001 .... etc
To be absolutely sure that tenth value is non-zero the 2nd statement should hold true for X (0.01).
So the answer should be B.However QA the answer is A.
Please assist.
