Bunuel, Can you or anyone else please Explain why E is not the answer choice?

If i combine both statement together: the List could look like this (2,2,2,2) statisfy both statement and the answer would be NO, because Max - Min = 2-2=0 , which is not > 6

But,

The list could also look like this: (1,5,7,10),which also satisfy both statement, and the answer would be Yes, coz 10 - 1= 9 , which is > 6

Thanks in advance!

Yes, here choice C makes sense only if we consider the numbers as distinct. However, no such thing is mentioned in the question.

Thank you Anurag!
This clarifies everything. So if we have a collection of same elements then it is called a list, correct?

Hi
No it's not necessary that if it's mentioned list then we will consider it a collection of same elements.

As far as I know there is no such rule on GMAT that a set cannot contain duplicates. Additionally, the thumb rule is that unless its mentioned dont assume that duplicates are not allowed or that numbers are distinct

I feel the answer here should be E, cause 2222, 3333 can also fit this solution.

Bunuel can you please guide us on this one
