If r is a constant and $$a_n = rn$$ for all positive integers n, for how many values of n is $$a_n < 100$$?

(1) $$a_{50} = 500$$

(2) $$a_{100} + a_{105} = 2050$$

If r is a constant and $$a_n = rn$$ for all positive integers n, for how many values of n is $$a_n < 100$$?

(1) $$a_{50} = 500$$:

Since $$a_n = rn$$, then $$a_{50} =r*50= 500$$. Hence, r = 10. We know everything about the sequence, so we can answer the question. Sufficient.

(2) $$a_{100} + a_{105} = 2050$$:

$$100r + 105r = 2050$$ --> r = 10. The same here. Sufficient.

Answer: D.
