what is value of X?

1) x is even
2) x^2 = 4x

Old question but let see how many remember the truth about zero...
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
Regards,
HSPA.

OA E?

1) x is even. Not sufficient.

2) x^2 = 4x
x (x-4) = 0
x=0 or x=4
NS.

Combined
1 and 2. No new info.

E

ST 1 ] X = 2,4,6,.... => INSUFF

ST 2 ] x^2 = 4x

x^2 - 4x = 0
x (x - 4)= 0
x = 0 ; x = 4. => INSUFF

ST 1 + ST 2 => 0 and 4 both are even , so we cannot reach to a solution => INSUFF

IMO E
Thanks & Regards,
