Is x a multiple of 9?

(1) x = (b!)(c), where b and c are distinct integers greater than 2.
(2) x is a multiple of integer c and c < 4[/quote]

From (1) we get, b >2 & c>2 . We are not sure about the exact value of the both. (INSUFFICENT)

From (2) we get, c<4, so c = 1,2 or 3 . Further we don't the value of b. (INSUFFICIENT)

(1) + (2) we get, 2<c<4 . Thus c must be 3.

Now, since b>2, we can take any value greater than 2, like 3,4,5,6 ... and so on.

x = (b!) (c)

x = (3!) (3) = (3*2*1) (3) , divisible by 9 or multiple of 9
x = (4!) (3) =(4*3*2*1) (3) , 3*3=9 multiple
x = (5!) (3) = (5*4*3*2*1) (3) , 3*3=9 multiple
.
.
. and so one.

Thus combining both should be SUFFICIENT. Option C is the right answer.
