1) d< 1/4
2) x-y = 1/ (x+y)


Statement (2) should be: h<5 (x and y have nothing to do with this problem).

Given: d=0.2h6.

(1) d<\frac{1}{4}=0.25 --> h<5 (0.2<d<0.25)--> d, rounded to the nearest tenth will be 0.2. Sufficient.

(2) h<5 --> the same as above: d, rounded to the nearest tenth will be 0.2. Sufficient.

Answer: D.

Note:
Rounding is simplifying a number to a certain place value. To round the decimal drop the extra decimal places, and if the first dropped digit is 5 or greater, round up the last digit that you keep. If the first dropped digit is 4 or smaller, round down (keep the same) the last digit that you keep.

Example:
5.3485 rounded to the nearest tenth = 5.3, since the dropped 4 is less than 5.
5.3485 rounded to the nearest hundredth = 5.35, since the dropped 8 is greater than 5.
5.3485 rounded to the nearest thousandth = 5.349, since the dropped 5 is equal to 5.

Hi Bunuel,

How will statement 2) x-y = 1/ (x+y) will help in answering the question.

Where do you see x-y = 1/ (x+y) in the post you quote?
