Hint: It's nowhere mentioned that x is an integer.

(1) When x is multiplied by 8, the
result is between 50 and 60.
(2) When x is doubled, the result is
between 10 and 15.

OA is E
Both of the statements above are insufficient, coz it doesn't say x is an integer, so it could be anything like, a decimal.
