No, OA is not A.

However, Cramya, please, post your reasoning.

[spoiler]OA is C[/spoiler]

Do we really have to deal with SUNS of the digits and play the OA game ?

I dont think so.

i go with C

expl: the largest sum x can take is 15 numbers of 9. as 999999999999999 = 135. but as per statement 1 sum of digits of x =130, hence we can have different values of x that will satisfy x=130. and so different values of y. hence st1 not sufficient.

st2: y can take any value between 50 - 100. hence no unique value and hence insuff.

both st1 &st2 :

Digits of X =130 : and y bet 50 -100

so x can only be 999999999999949 and y =61
