If the three-digit integer x=”abc”, where a, b, and c represent nonzero digits of x, what is the value of x? (1) a>= 3b. Not sufficient, since no info about c. (2) b>= 3c. Not sufficient, since no info about a. (1)+(2) We have that a>= 3b and b>= 3c. Now, since each represent a nonzero single digit then c can only be 1, b can only be 3 and a can only be 9. Because if c=2 (or more) then the least value of b is 6 and in this case the least value of a is 18, so it's no more a single digit. Sufficient. Answer: C. Similar questions to practice: if-x-0-abcd-where-a-b-c-and-d-each-represent-a-nonzero-127399.htmlif-x-0-rstu-where-r-s-t-and-u-each-represent-a-nonzero-109735.htmlHope it helps.

Will vote for C
(A) a >= 3b
if (b = 1)
a = {3,4,5 ...}
not sufficient
(B) b >= 3c
if (c = 1)
b = {3,4,5 ....}
(C)
if (c = 1)
b = 3 and a = 3b = 3 * 3 = 9
and therefore sufficient
b cannot be > 3, if b = 4 then a will be 12 (not a digit)
