Is x/m(m^2 + n^2 + k^2) = xm + yn + zk?

(1) z/k = x/m
(2) x/m = y/n

I think is C

x/m(m^2 + n^2 + z^2) = xm + yn + zk

that is equal to

xm + xn^2/m + xz^2/n = xm + yn + zk

from I: x/m = y/n then xn = ym and from there (xn*n)/m is equal to
ym*n/m equal to yn

so insuff

from ii, do the same stuff as i and you get zk

so insuff

taking both it works so C

Is x/m(m^2 + n^2+ k^2) = xm + yn + zk?

xm^2 + xn^2 + xk^2 = xmm +ynm +zkm?

Is xn^2 + xk^2 = ynm + zkm?

(1) z/k = x/m (xk = mz)

xk^2 = (xk)k = (mzk)

xn^2 + xk^2 = ynm + zkm =

xn^2 = ynm?
xn = my?

(2) x/m = y/n (xn = my)

xn^2 = (xn)n = (my)n

xn^2 + xk^2 = ynm + zkm =

xk^2 = zkm?
xk = mz?

Put (1) and (2) together

xn^2 + xk^2 = ynm + zkm =

(my)n + (mz)k = ynm + zkm

Both statements used = Answer C

is xm^2+xn^2+xk^2=xm^2+ynm+zkm
i. e. xn^2+xk^2=ynm+zkm
statement 1: xk=zm
xn^2=ynm Not Sufficient
Statement 2: ym=xn
xk^2=zkm Not Sufficient
Together: xn^2+xk^2=xn^2+xk^2
Sufficient
