Notice that, if we already know statement (2), then statement (1) does not add any extra information.maihuna wrote:|v-x|<8?
(1)v,x are integer
(2)|v|=4,|x|=10
So, beginning with (2) we can see that we could have two sets of conflicting values:
(2)
a) v=4 and x=10 --> |v-x| is less than 8
b) v=4 and x=-10 --> |v-x| is greater than 8
Statement (2) is insufficient
Since statement (1) provides no additional info, it is also insufficient and the answer must be E
