(1) D(t) = 11,000
(2) r=10

(A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
(B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
(C) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
(E) Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

Check each statement against D(t)=10,000(1+(r/100))t

Stat1: you will have to know t in order to find out the annual interest rate that you need to calculate D(3). In other words, you can get 11000 in 5 years at rate i1 or in 10 years at i2 (i1>i2) Insuff.
Stat2: clearly states the interest rate so you can go ahead with calcs.Suff.
