I think D,
A is sufficient if we plug the value;
ab = -6
here ab can be = 1, -6 $ 2,-3
x - y = 5
only 2 - (-3) = 5
therefore, a = 2, and b = -3
sufficient to answer the problem
In the same way B is also sufficient
Therefore answer is D
Let me know if i am wrong

simple approach
Ratio of mileage: mileage on highway/mileage on city =
= 462/336 = 11/8
differene is 3.
in the question the diff. is 6,
therefore = 11/8 * 2/2 = 22/16
Ans: b

Another way
Sudir Your expl is right , just see this one also. Pythagoras theorem a traingle can be in the ration of : 3,4,5 or 5,12,13 Add: 3+4+5 = 15 or 5+12+13 = 30 Perimeter is 60, therefore side can be: 15, 20, 25 or 10 , 24, 36 Now side PQ > PR, therefore Side PQ can be 20 or 24 and side PR can be 15 or 1...
