What is the value of k?
(1) \(k^4 = \frac{1}{625}\)
(2) \(k^3 < k^2\)
(1) \(k^4 = \frac{1}{625}\)
(2) \(k^3 < k^2\)

(1) \(K^4 = \frac{1}{625}\)
\(K^4\) =\(5^{-4}\)
==> k= \(5^{-1}\)= \(\frac{1}{5}\) or k =\(- \frac{1}{5}\) --Not Sufficient
(2) \(k^3 < K ^2\) -- Not sufficient
Lets combine (1) and (2).
\(k^3 < K ^2\) ==> \((- \frac{1}{5} )^3 < (- \frac{1}{5} )^2 ==> - \frac{1}{125} < \frac{1}{25}\) --True
\(k^3 < K ^2\) ==> \(( \frac{1}{5} )^3 < (- \frac{1}{5} )^2 ==> \frac{1}{125} < \frac{1}{25}\) --True
Ans E.

(1) K=1/5 or -1/5 .....not sufficient
(2)K^3-K^2<0
K^2(K-1)<0--------->K-1<0------->K<1.......not suff...
Combining again as K<1 (from 2)
K=1/5 or -1/5 .....not suff
Ans E
