[PAB2706]

What is the value of p

1) p=4q

2) q=4p

[bluementor]

What is the value of p

1) p=4q

2) q=4p

Both statements are individual on their own because each have a 2nd variable q, which is unknown.

Both statements together:
p = 4q
p = 4(4p)
p = 16p
16p - p = 0
15p = 0

so p must be 0. Sufficient.

Choose C.

(1) + (2)

p = 4 * 4p

p = 16p
