Is 4^k>1,000?

(1) 4^k+1>4,000

(2) 4^k−1=256

The answer should be in Yes or No form.

Statement 1: 4^k+1>4,000
=> 4^k > 3,999 than we can definitely say that 4^k>1,000

Hence, is 4^k>1,000------Yes

Statement 2: 4^k−1=256

=> 4^k = 257 which is less than 1000.

Therefore, is 4^k>1,000 ------No

EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question asked, hence, option (D) is correct.

Even though both the statements alone are sufficient to answer the question, they contradict each other (Statement 1 yields yes and 2 yields no). As far as I can tell, DS statements cannot contradict each other.

You are right. The statements do contradict each other. I think there is a formatting issue with the question.
