Statement 1: $$y=3$$ or $$-3$$ so $$z=2$$ or $$-2$$. Hence multiple values of $$(y+z)$$ possible. Insufficient

Statement 2: $$z=2$$ or $$-2$$ so $$y=3$$ or $$-3$$. Hence multiple values of $$(y+z)$$ possible. Insufficient

Combining 1 & 2 we can have multiple values of $$(y+z)$$. Insufficient

Option E
