(1) If the smallest number is 21, then any other number in the set should be at least 21.
Average number would be equal to 21 only if all the numbers in the set would be equal to 21. Thus it means that SD is zero.
SUFF.
(2) If the highest number is 21, then applying same the same logic as statement 1, any other number in the set should be equal to 21 to make the average equal to 21. If any number would be less, then average will be less than 21. Thus again SD is zero and statement 2 is SUFF.
Answer D.
