After a long career, John C. Walden is retiring. If there are 25 associates who contribute equally to a parting gift for John in an amount that is an integer, what is the total value of the parting gift?
(1) If four associates were fired for underperformance, the total value of the parting gift would have decreased by $200
(2) The value of the parting gift is greater than $1,225 and less than $1,275

Given, the amount (x) contributed by each associate is an integer.
25x = N (total contribution)
#1. 4x = 200
X = 50 and N = 1250
Sufficient
#2. 1225 < N < 1275
1225 < 25x < 1275
49 < x < 51
X = 50 only possible integer. Hence, N = 1250
IMO D
