(1) 101 < N < 103
N is an integer. Only possible value of N is 102
So A is sufficient.
(2) 202 < 2N < 206
Dividing the expression by 2 we get
101 < N < 103. Again sufficient.

So answer is D

Both statements giving you the exact same information.

(1) n = 102

(2) 202 < 2N < 206 - divide each value by 2 and you get the same as (1)

Hence (D)

(1) 101 < N < 103
(2) 202 < 2N < 206
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
