The "spin" of any two-digit number is defined as double the amount of the tens digit of the number. For instance, the "spin" of 54 is 10. Is the "spin" of x divisible by 4?

(1) The sum of the digits of x is 9.
(2) x > 50


Solution:
Pre Analysis:
  • Let the 2 digit intere \(x=10a+b\) where a and b are tens and units digit
  • We are asked if \(2a=4k\) or not where k is a positive integer

Statement 1: The sum of the digits of x is 9
  • Accordign to this statement, \(a+b=9\)
  • Let is take 2 cases:
    • \(a=7, b=2\): then \(2a=2\times 7=14\) is not divisible by 4
    • \(a=6, b=3\): then \(2a=2\times 6=12\) is divisible by 4
  • Thus, statement 1 alone is not sufficient and we can eliminate options A and D

Statement 2: x > 50
  • We can take the same 2 cases that we took in statement 1
  • Thus, statement 2 alone is also not sufficient

Combining:
  • After combining too, we can take the same 2 cases that we took in statement 1

Hence the right answer is Option E
