IMO B

s1) gives us only y , nothing about x and z; x>6 can have any value

s2) z=0 irrespective of x,y x*y*z will be 0

oa ans source pls

The answer is B
Statement 1 alone is not sufficient because we have no information about z
From statement 1, we know z=0, if we consider 0 as an even integer, so the value of the whole expression is xyz = 0

B
I think it tries to test the debate either 0 is odd or even...

According to OG, 0 is an even integer.

The OG is right. Definition of even: Even is a # that can be expressed as 2k where k is an integer. Since 0 can be expressed as 2k where k is the integer 0, then 0 is even.

Need to find xyz = ?

Of the two statements 2 seems more easy

2) z = 0 which implies xyz = 0

Rule out A,C,E lets check for D

1) y = 3 and x! > 6! but does not say anything about z rule out D
answer (B)
