Statement 1 says that the product of v and w is 0, hence v or w (or both) = 0
Sufficient because if any of term in a multiplication equals 0 the product of the multiplication will be 0
Statement 2 says that x is 5
Insufficient because it does not say anything about v or w.
I would be sufficient if x=0

1. It states that vw=0 ,
if x=infinity then we cannot determine the product value as it becomes 0*(1/0) so 0/0>>cant be determined. insufficient
2. x=5; but we dont know the values of v and w; insufficient
1+2>> Suffcient since x value is finite.
Hence Ans C ....
I am not sure how the OA is A because we never know what value x can take.
