(n-x) + (n-y) + (n-c) + (n-k) = n-x+n-y+n-c+n-k
= 4n -(x+y+c+k)............(i)

now if (1) The average (arithmetic mean) of x, y, c, and k is n.
means (x+y+c+k)/4 = n
means (x+y+c+k) = 4n

substitute this in (i)

4n - 4n
=0

It asks for the value of (n-x) + (n-y) + (n-c) + (n-k) .......or 4n-(x+y+c+k) .....so that means we need to know the value of n

& x+y+c+k .....

statement:: 1 says ..... The average (arithmetic mean) of x, y, c, and k is n..... that means ....

$$\frac{x+y+c+k}{4}= n$$ ... Theforefore, 4n = x+y+c+k ...

when plugging in the value in the expression given .... 4n-4n .. Therefore, 0.

The value of above expression is 0. Sufficient.

Statement :: 2 says x, y, c, and k are consecutive integers. ..lets say for ex. the consecutive integers x,y,c,k are 1,2,3,4, respectively...

therefore, we have (n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)..... or 4n-10 .. so here we need to know the value of n in order to know the value of the

expression above........ so, Insufficient.

Hence, A ............

Hope it Helps !! & let me know if there is any problem ..............
