In value based DS questions , is it possible that both statements give unique value but different unique values.
For example
If x+y=6, what is the value of x ?
1)y=2
2)y=3
from 1 we get x=4 and from 2 we get x=3.
Both values of x are different but distinct.
Is it possible to have such questions on GMAT ?
If yes, then what should be the answer, D or E ?

Good question but the answer is NO. The 2 statements , if sufficient individually, can not give you 2 contradictory answers. If it is a unique value question, then the unique value MUST be the same for both the statements.

Hi kunal555,
Engr2012 is correct - if each of the two Facts is SUFFICIENT, then they must be so for the same reason (re: the same single 'answer' to the question). The GMAT makes NO exceptions on this issue.
To take this a step further, IF you believe that both Facts are sufficient on their own, but they show different answers, then YOU have likely made a mistake somewhere and should double-check your work. To be fair, in that situation, It would also be possible that you were practicing with material that was poorly designed.
