The integers r, s and t all have the same remainder when divided by 5. What is the value of t?
\(r=5a+x\) \(s=5b+x\) \(t=5c+x\)
Where the remainder x is \(0\leq{x}<5\).
(1) r + s = t --> \((5a+x)+(5b+x)=5c+x\) --> \(x=5(c-a-b)\) --> the remainder (x) is a multiple of 5, thus it's 0 --> r, s and t are multiples of 5. Not sufficient.
(2) 20 <= t <= 24. Clearly insufficient.
(1)+(2) There is only one multiple of 5 between 20 and 24, inclusive, namely 20. Sufficient.

(1) r + s = t (2) 20 <= t <= 24
For this r,s ant t can be any values which have same remainder when divided by 5 so r=6 s=1 t=21 or r=2, s=47 and t=1002
From statement 1: r + s = t => so for this only same remainder is "0". But r+s=t can be any value 5+10=15 where all the numbers have remainder "0" or 10+20=30 or etc . . .. So insufficient
From statement 2: 20<=t<=24 so t can be 20, 21,22,23,24 Hence not sufficient
From combining both the statements From 1 : r, s and t has to multiple of 5 so remainder is "0" From 2: t = 20,21,22,23,24 so from both the multiple of 5 is 20 t=20 sufficient hence both the statement are sufficient. answer is (c)

I still don't understand how 1) r+s = t tells us that these must be multiples of 5. (And thus the remainder is 0)
Could someone please explain? Thanks!
The question: when r,t,s are divided by 5, they yield the same remainder. Remember that when X is divided by 5, the remainder must be 0,1,2,3,4 ( remainder must always be smaller than divisor)
If r and s has the same remainder, for example 1, then t can not have remainder 1 (21+11=32, remainder of the total (32) is the sum of remainders of 11 and 21, it equals 2 actually). So for the remainder to be the same, r,t and s must be multiples of 5 (20+10=30)

here's the way i saw this question...
- since we're told r, s, and t all have the same remainder, it got me thinking: they would all have the same remainder if they were all multiples of 5.
(1) r+s=t r=10, s=10, t=20. works r=20, s=40, t=60. works ** we have 2 possible values for t, so insufficient.
(2) t is between 20 and 24 t can literally equal 20, 21, 22, 23 or 24...clearly insufficient
(3) we know t should be a multiple of 5 and within the range 20-24. there's a # here (20) that fits these 2 criteria. sufficient.
