Both statements giving you the exact same information.santham wrote:What is the value of the integer N?
(1) 101 < N < 103
(2) 202 < 2N < 206
(1) n = 102
(2) 202 < 2N < 206 - divide each value by 2 and you get the same as (1)
Hence (D)

Solution:
We need to determine the value of N given that it is an integer.
Statement One Alone:
Since the only integer between 101 and 103 is 102, N = 102. Statement one alone is sufficient.
Statement Two Alone:
Dividing the inequality by 2, we see that 101 < N < 103, which is exactly the same as the inequality in statement one. Therefore, statement two alone is also sufficient.
Answer: D
