y=mx+c, Slope=m
y=nx+d, Slope=n

If slope is equal, lines are parallel.

(1) m+n=4 . Insufficient
m=n=2, parallel lines
m=1, n=3 , not parallel

(2) m=n . Sufficient
Parallel lines.

Hence, OA is (B).

The slope of the lines is m,n respectively;

If 2 lines are parallel then their slopes are the same.

So m=n is sufficient;

IMO B

Slope is same for two parallel lines
I.e m = n

2nd statement is sufficient not first
Option(B) is correct IMO
