As I understand we need to find the exact value of LCM (x, y)

(1) x > 50, y > 50. Clearly insufficient because they can take any values beyond 50.

(2) x = y In this case LCM (x, y) = x = y = GCD (x, y) Had we known at least one integer or that x = y + 1 (consecutive integers), than the option would have been sufficient. But because we don’t know any exact value of x or y – insufficient.

(1) & (2) Again x = y = 51 or x = y = 600 Insufficient.

All spins around the question: do we need to find exact value of LCM? If no, than (2) is sufficient.

Agree, even for (2) LCM will in the end depend upon what values of X & Y take.
Hence, Insufficient.

Thank you for your input, cheers!
