If m, n and p are distinct digits and their product is another distinct digit, what is value of the product mnp?
(1) mn = 8
(2) m is twice n and n is twice p
(1) mn = 8
(2) m is twice n and n is twice p

(1) we dont know value p
insuff..
(2) m=2n && n=2p
thus m= 4p
mnp= m*m/2*m/4==M^3/8
m could be 2 or -2 again not suff..
Combining from (1) mn=8 and from (2) m=2n
thus m*m/2=8 or m^2=16
thus m=4 , -4
so mnp = m^3/8 = 4*4*4/8 = 8(when m=4)
&& m^3/8 = -4*-4*-4/8 = -8(when m=-4)
thus mnp= 8 , -8
NOt suff

p≠0. Otherwise the product will also be 0.
(1) mn=8
1*8*p and 8*1*p give us p=0 and we need to discard this option.
2*4*p and 4*2*p give us p = 1. Sufficient.
(2) \(m*n*p = 4p*2p*p = 8*p^3\)
Only awailable option is p=1. Sufficient.
