Step 1: Understanding statement 1 alone
Sufficient
Quote:
Step 2: Understanding statement 2 alone
In the given equation Discriminant ie D = \(b^2\) - 4ac = \(11^2\) - 24 = 97 which is greater than 0, hence there are 2 roots.
Therefore statement 2 alone is not sufficient
A is correct

What is the source? You'd never see something as absurdly simple as Statement 1 on a real GMAT question, and you could never see two Statements like these in any DS question, because they contradict each other (x cannot equal 5 if Statement 2 is true) and the two statements in any DS question cannot be logically contradictory. You'd also need the quadratic formula to factor Statement 2, and you never need that on the GMAT. I wouldn't rely on a source producing questions like this one for practice.
