(1) p is a multiple of 10
(2) p is a multiple of 5

Statement 1

P could be 30 or 40

Insufficient

Statement 2

P could be a multiple of 15 or 20

Insufficient

Statement 1 & 2

Even with both pieces of information P could be 30, 40 or 100 still

(1) p is a multiple of 10
(2) p is a multiple of 5


(1) p is a multiple of 10

p is a multiple of 10 - So p can be - 30, 50, 100

Based on this we cannot say of p is a multiple of 50

Hence, (1) ===== is NOT SUFFICIENT

(2) p is a multiple of 5

p is multiple of 5 - So p can again be - 30,50,100

Based on this we cannot say of p is a multiple of 50

Hence, (2) ===== is NOT SUFFICIENT

Combining (1) & (2)

We still can say that p p can be - 30, 50, 100

Hence, (1) & (2) ===== is NOT SUFFICIENT

Hence, Answer is E

Hi, I have a doubt (might be stupid).
As p is a multiple of 50(factors of 50=5*2*5) we can say p has at least one's 2 and two's 5.
Statement 1 -says p is a multiple of 10(factors =5*2) means p has at least one's 2 and one's 5.
Statement 2 - says p is a multiple of 5 means p has atleast one 5.
How can we conclude to answer using theory and without taking actual numbers?

Thanks

This is quite an easy question. When taking together we only know that p is a multiple of 10. That's it. Can it be a multiple of 50? Sure: 50, 100, ... Can it not be a multiple of 50? Easy: 10, 20, ...

is p a multiple of 50?

(1) p is a multiple of 10 --> 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, ... So it can be a multiple of 50 (bold) or not (not in bold)... NOT SUFFICIENT

(2) p is a multiple of 5 --> 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, ..... So it can be a multiple of 50 (bold) or not (not in bold)... NOT SUFFICIENT

(1) & (2) This is also basically (1).. NOT SUFFICIENT

Ans: E
