tens digit is t and and unit digit is u.
1. x is a multiple of 15.
than the unit digit of the x must be 0 or 5.and there are many possible values for it.Not sufficient.
2.sum of digit t and u is 9.
possible values for x is 18,27,36,45,54,63,72,81,90. Not sufficient.
(1)+(2)
In this case there are 2 possible value for x. 45 and 90.so insufficient.
and hence ans is E

Answer is C.

Statement 1 :
15k = 10t + u
I.e the number must end with either 0 or 5 . clearly. It is not sufficient.

Statement 2:
T + u = 9
(1,8) (8,1) (2,7) (7,2) (3,6)(6,3)(4,5)(5,4). It is not sufficient

Combine 1 and 2: only 1 set I.e (4,5) satisfies both.
Hence C.

Let x be a two-digit number whose tens digit is t and whose units digit is u. What is the value of x?

(1) x is a multiple of 15.
(2) The sum of the digits t and u is 9.


Kudos for a correct solution.

St 1: x is a multiple of 15

Two digit no. multiple of 15 are 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90. Many values for x. Hence Not Sufficient.

St 2: Sum of the two digits is 9 => 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90. Many values for x. Not Sufficient.

Combining two statements, we still have two numbers 45, 90 which satisfy both statements..

Hence Not Sufficient.

Option E

(2) The sum of the digits t and u is 9.


Kudos for a correct solution.

Statement 1: x is a multiple of 15. Eg:15,30,45,60,75,90 and so on. Insufficient
Statement 2: sum of t and u is 9. Eg:45,36,63,90 and so on. Insufficient
Even using both statements, x can be 45,90 etc.

(1) x is a multiple of 15.
(2) The sum of the digits t and u is 9.


Kudos for a correct solution.

800score Official Solution:

(To understand units and tens, in 75 7 is tens and 5 is units.) Two-digit numbers are the integers from 10 to 99. Statement (1) alone is not sufficient since there are six possible multiples of 15: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90.

Statement (2) alone is not sufficient either, since all multiples of 9 between 18 and 99 will have digits that add up to 9.

Taken together, the two statements are still insufficient. Both the numbers 45 and 90 will satisfy the conditions of the two statements. Because there are two possible answers, we do not have sufficient information to determine the two-digit number.

Since both statements are insufficient, even combined, the correct answer is choice (E).
