Set T consists of odd integers divisible by 5. Is standard deviation of T positive?

(1)All members of T are positive
(2) T consists of only one member

Hey have you posted the question properly because " Is standard deviation of positive?" doesn't make sense?

I think the question is asking whether the SD is 0 or positive.

Statement I

all integers are positive

T = [15,15,15]
SD = 0

T = [5,15,25]
SD = positive

Insufficient.

Statement II
T = [5]
SD = 0
T =[25]
SD = 0

Sufficient.

Hence B

OA?
