(1) The ratio of m : p is 6 : 7.
(2) m and p are consecutive even integers.

(1) The ratio of m : p is 6 : 7. So, $$\frac{m}{p}=\frac{6x}{7x}$$ (where x is the multiplier), $$6x+7x=26$$, $$x=2$$, $$m=6x=12$$ and $$p=7x=14$$; then $$mp=12*14$$; sufficient.

(2) m and p are consecutive even integers. So, $$(n+2)+(n+4)=26$$, $$2n=20$$, $$n=10$$, $$m=(n+2)=12$$ and $$p=(n+4)=14$$; then $$mp=12*14$$; sufficient.
