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.

A WAS MY ANSWER CHOICE

i asssume m+t/2 is equal to p , as p is integer so m+t is always even

Correct me

(1) t – p = p - m
(2) t – m = 16

from 1

t-2p+m = 0

t+m = 2p ie either t,m are both even or are both odd , p could be anything.....insuff

from 2

t-m = 16 ie: odd - odd or even - even., no info about p ......insuff

both

still insuff
