St1 : number can be 25, 50 etc

InSufficient

St2: number can be 16, 32 etc
Insufficient

St1 & St 2
finding LCM of 16 and 25 = 400

so all multiple of 400 will be : 400 , 800, 1600
tens digit is = 0

Ans: C

(1) N is divisible by 25.

(2) N is divisible by 16.


Given: N > 0 and integer
Required: Tens digit of N?

Statement 1: N is divisible by 25
N = 25 or 50
Hence we cannot tell the tens digit.
INSUFFICIENT

Statement 2: N is divisible by 16
N = 16 or 32
We cannot tell the tens digit
INSUFFICIENT

Combining Statement 1 and Statement 2:
N is a multiple of both 16 and 25
Hence N is a multiple of 400
N = 400, 800, ...
In all the cases, the tens digit will be 0
SUFFICIENT

Option C

Here is my approach =>
statement 1 tells us Unit digit can be 0 or 5 => not sufficient
statement two tells us the unit digits must be even => not sufficient
Combining them => unit digits must be zero => C is sufficient

Here Clearly 1 and 2 statement are not sufficient as there are numerous values.
combining the we can say that tens digit will be 0
hence C

The question, however, asks for the tens digit.

This is incorrect way of solving the problem. The tens digit for Statement (1) can be 0,2,5 or 7.
The unit digit is inconsequential in this problem.
