Let ∆ and O be two distinct digits in the decimal ∆.O∆, what is ∆?
(1) When rounded to the nearest integer, the decimal becomes O So \(O\geq{5}\), as ∆.O∆ becomes O when rounded to nearest integer. Also ∆+1=O, as ∆ converts to O. But the decimal could be 4.54 or 5.65 or 6.76 or 7.87 or 8.98.. so the value of ∆ could be in the range \(4\leq{∆}\leq{8}\)
(2) When rounded to the nearest tenth, the decimal becomes ∆.O This tells us that ∆<5 as the tenth digit does not change, so range becomes \(0\leq{∆}\leq{4}\)

Given ∆.O∆, where ∆ and O are distinct digits. We are to determine ∆.
From statement 1, rounding ∆.O∆ to the nearest integer yields O For this to occur, we know O must have the following possible values: 5,6,7,8,9 while ∆ can be any of the following: 4,5,6,7,8,9 There are many possibilities for ∆ hence statement 1 is not sufficient on its own.
From Statement 2, rounding ∆.O∆ to the nearest tenth decimal yields ∆.O this implies ∆ is less than 5. hence ∆ can be 1,2,3,4 Statement 2 is not sufficient.
1+2 means ∆ = 4. This is because 4 is the only common possible value in both statements. Both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question.
The answer is therefore C.

Given: Let ∆ and O be two distinct digits in the decimal ∆.O∆
Asked: what is ∆?
(1) When rounded to the nearest integer, the decimal becomes O O = ∆ + 1 ∆ >= 4 ∆ = {4,5,6,7,8} There may be many such pairs NOT SUFFICIENT
(2) When rounded to the nearest tenth, the decimal becomes ∆.O ∆ < 5 ∆ = {0,1,2,3,4} NOT SUFFICIENT
(1) + (2) (1) When rounded to the nearest integer, the decimal becomes O O = ∆ + 1 ∆ = {4,5,6,7,8} (2) When rounded to the nearest tenth, the decimal becomes ∆.O ∆ < 5 ∆ = {0,1,2,3,4} ∆ = 4 Only 4.54 satisfy both conditions SUFFICIENT

(1) When rounded to the nearest integer, the decimal becomes O Then values of ∆ and O will be.... ∆= O-1where O=5,6,7,8,9 and ∆= 4,5,6,7,8.....So insufficient
(2) When rounded to the nearest tenth, the decimal becomes ∆.O

Let ∆ and O be two distinct digits in the decimal ∆.O∆, what is ∆?
(1) When rounded to the nearest integer, the decimal becomes O Rounded to nearest integer, the decimal should be .0 Therefore, O = 0 However, we do not know anything about ∆ - INSUFFICIENT
(2) When rounded to the nearest tenth, the decimal becomes ∆.O Rounded to nearest integer, the decimal becomes as above, we can infer that ∆ is between 0 - 4, but we dont know which number. - INSUFFICIENT
Taken (1) + (2) together, insufficient because we do not know ∆

given ∆.O∆ find value of ∆ #1 When rounded to the nearest integer, the decimal becomes O it means that ∆ is 1,2,3,4 insufficient #2
When rounded to the nearest tenth, the decimal becomes ∆.O ∆ can be 1,2,3,4 and O can be any integer value 0-9 insufficeint from 1&2 ∆=4 and O = 5 4.54 sufficient IMO C

While rounding number increases if digit after decimal is greater than equal to 5 i.e., 5,6,7,8,9 else it will be same i.e., for 0 1,2,3,4
Now to question 1) When rounded to the nearest integer, the decimal becomes O 0 can have value 5,6,7,8,9 but at the same time ∆ has to be 4,5,6,7,8. Therefore not sufficient
2) When rounded to the nearest tenth, the decimal becomes ∆.O Implies that ∆ has to be less than 5 {0,1,2,3,4} Therefore not sufficient
Combining 1 and 2 ∆ = 4
