t10=10k+15

So, value of k required. k=??

(1) t8−t7=5

8K+15−(7K+15)=5
k = 5

(1) is Suff

A or D

(2) (t8)/(t7) = 11/10
8k+15/7k+15=11/10

From here, k can be found.

(2) is also Suff

Based on the given formula :tn = (k)(n) + 15

Find out t10 It means t10 = 10K + 5 . So if we are able to find K then t10 can be found.

Statement 1 : t8−t7=5
==> 8k +15 - 7k -15 = 5
K = 5 Hence Sufficient

Statement 2 : (t8)/(t7) = 11/10

(8k+15)/ (7k+15) = 11/10

Cross multiply and get the value of the K .Hence Sufficient .

Answer D




Kudos will be appreciated if it was helpful. :)
