Something looks wrong with 2nd drop down. It should be decreased rather than increased.

P can be equal to 4 or -4. Then the statement won’t be sufficient.

­This question is discussed here: 

https://gmatclub.com/forum/if-p-is-a-po ... 27162.html

Worth noting though that such type of pure algebraic questions are no longer a part of the DS syllabus of the GMAT.

DS questions in GMAT Focus encompass various types of word problems, such as:

  • Word Problems
  • Work Problems
  • Distance Problems
  • Mixture Problems
  • Percent and Interest Problems
  • Overlapping Sets Problems
  • Statistics Problems
  • Combination and Probability Problems

While these questions may involve or necessitate knowledge of algebra, arithmetic, inequalities, etc., they will always be presented in the form of word problems. You won’t encounter pure "algebra" questions like, "Is x > y?" or "A positive integer n has two prime factors..."

Check GMAT Syllabus for Focus Edition

Hope it helps.­
