(1) x leaves a remainder of 2 when divided by 3, 7, or 11.
Hence, x = N*(LCM of 3, 7, 11) +2
0r, x = 231N +2
Not sufficient to find the exact value of x.
Hence INSUFFICIENT.
(2) 200 < x < 500
Not sufficient to find the exact value of x.
Hence INSUFFICIENT.
Even after combining St1 & 2,
x = = 231N +2
x can be 233 (for N =1) or 464 (for N=2)
Not sufficient to find the exact value of x.
Hence INSUFFICIENT.
Answer = E

#1x leaves a remainder of 2 when divided by 3, 7, or 11.
LCM = 231 ; so factor of 231*x+2 values
insufficient
#2
200 < x < 500
many possible values
insufficient
from 1 &2
we get 229, 460 ... so on
insufficient
IMO E
