What is the value of m?
(1)8*m^2=8^2*m
(2)m is an integer
Detailed explanations would be appreciated. Thanks

I assume 8^2*m in statement 2 means (8^2)*m not 8^(2m).knight247 wrote:What is the value of m?
(1)8*m^2=8^2*m
(2)m is an integer
From statement 1, 8*(m^2) = (8^2)*m ----> 8m^2 - 64m = 0 ----> m(m - 8) = 0
Hence, value of m is either 0 or 8.
Now 0 and 8 are both integers. Hence statement 2 together with statement 1 doesn't add any new information. Hence, both statements together is not sufficient.
The correct answer is E.
