The answer is clearly D. From each statement we can get the exact value of d, thus we'll know its tenths digit.

From both the statements we can find the tenths digit of the decimal as they are fractions and can be easily converted into decimals.
Therefore D

(1) d = 54/25
(2) 1000d = 2160

Solution:

We need to determine the tenths digit of d when it is written as a decimal.

Statement One Alone:

d = 54/25 = 2.16

We see that the tenths digit of d is 1. Statement one alone is sufficient.

Statement Two Alone:

d = 2160/1000 = 216/100 = 2.16

We see that the tenths digit of d is 1. Statement two alone is sufficient.

In a general decimal representation like x.pqrst…… the digit p is called the tenth digit since it represents the number of one-tenths.

From statement I alone, d = \(\frac{54 }{ 25}\).
\(\frac{54}{ 25}\) = 2.16. Therefore, the tenths digit is 1.
Statement I alone is sufficient to find the tenths digit. Answer options B, C and E can be eliminated. Possible answer options are A or D.

From statement II alone, 1000d = 2160. Therefore, d = \(\frac{2160 }{1000}\) = 2.16. The tenths digit is 1.
Statement II alone is sufficient. Answer option A can be eliminated.

The correct answer option is D.

Hope that helps!

From statement 1, we have d=54/25
I always prefer to convert denominator in terms of 100 or 1000 instead of long division
So multiple numerator and denominator by 4, d=54*4/25*4= (50+4)*4/100=216/100=2.16
Suff.

From statement 2, d=2160/1000 which is same as st1.
