if i got the problem properly then my answer is B
(1) only one digit is greater that x,the greatest existing digit is 9 so x must be less the 9 and more that 6, so x can be 7, or 8 insufficient
(2) x is the greatest among non-existing digits, non existing digits are-0,4,7,8,the greatest is 8 so sufficient
