To check if $$abc/4$$=0.

We need to find if $$abc$$ can produce two 2's

St1 :
$$a + b + 2c$$ is even

We know:$$E+E = E$$ and $$O+O = E$$

Here 2c is Even so $$a+b$$ has to be even to give final output as Even .

If a and b are even then $$abc/4$$ is divisible but If a and b are odd then $$abc/4$$ depends on c,which we don't know is even or odd . So no clear answer (Insufficient) .

St2 : Same approach as above (Insufficient)

$$St1 + St2$$ == > add both equations :

$$ODD+EVEN = ODD$$

$$2a+3(b+c)$$= ODD ==>$$b+c$$ will be ODD so either b or c is odd but not both . So we get one 2 from either b or c but we don't know about a Since it is multiplied by 2 .

So still Insufficient.
Answer E
