If p, q and r are even numbers, and 2<p<q<r, What is the value of q?

(1) r<10. Since 2<p<q<r only possible value for q is 6 --> 10 > (r=8) > (q=6) > (p=4) > 2. Sufficient

(2) p<6 --> p=4, but q can be any even number greater than 4. Not sufficient.

We are told that they are even numbers, hence integers.

If p, q and r are even numbers, and 2<p<q<r, What is the value of q?

(1) r < 10

only values p, q and r can take are 2,4 & 6 respectively ======> Hence, Sufficient

(2) p < 6[/quote]

p can take the value of 4, however, we cannot confirm the values of q & r they both can have any even numbers >= 6

=======> Hence, Not Sufficient

If p, q and r are even numbers, and 2<p<q<r, What is the value of q?

(1) r < 10
(2) p < 6

Solution:

Statement 2: 2<4<q<r.
The values of q and r can be any even number greater than 4.Insufficient.

Therefore the answer is Option A.
