Statement 2: n/4=m/5=>5n=4m=> subtitute either in value of m or n will still leave one variable => no value. INSUFF

Hi,

I have a question. How come we can't sub numbers instead of N and M and test sufficiency that way ?

a) 20 and 25 for n and m
b) 40 and 5 for n and m

hence using both you can get answers.

Is the whole point of data sufficiency questions to figure out ONE answer. What I mean by that, if there are multiple numbers we can plug in for n and m that makes it insufficient right ? .. That would make sense why A is the answer.

Thanks,
