S2 = 7-4 = 3. Sufficient to answer the question
2S2 + 4 = 10.
S2 = 3. Sufficient to answer the question
IMO D
S3 = S2 + S1 = S2 + 4.(1) S3 = 7
S2 = 7-4 = 3. Sufficient to answer the question
S4 = S3 + S2 = S2 + S1 + S2 = 2S2 + S1.(2) S4 = 10
2S2 + 4 = 10.
S2 = 3. Sufficient to answer the question
IMO D
