10^(-4), 10^(-3), 10^(-2), and 10^(-1) are positioned on the number line as follows:
-(0.0001)-(0.001)---------(0.01)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------(0.1)-
The question asks which of the two middle numbers x is closer to.
(1) indicates that x is closer to the first number than to the fourth. However, x could still be anywhere between the two middle numbers. Not sufficient.
(2) indicates that x is closer to the second number than to the fourth. However, x could still be anywhere between the two middle numbers. Not sufficient.
(1)+(2) x could still be anywhere between the two middle numbers. Therefore, we cannot determine which number x is closer to. Not sufficient.
Answer: E.
P.S. You could consider these simpler numbers for easier manipulation:
-(1)-(10)---------(100)---------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1000)-
