What is the value of x in the list {36, 47, 51, 65, x}?

(1) The median of the 5 values is 51.
(2) The range of the 5 values is 29.

The answer is wrong for these Q it is C . if we take both together then we will get only single value of X for eg consider statement 2 - If the range is 29 , X can take two value 36 and 65 hence 2 is not sufficient . but if I combine them then I get only one value on X that is 65 lets see how if the median is 51 I cannot add 36 to the left as it will violate 36,36,47,51,65 the range is 29 but the median is different but if I take X as 65 then 36,47,51,65,65 here the range is 29 and median is 51 hence we got a single value . hence C is the correct option both will be sufficient. @Bunel

When we combine the statements, x can be any number from 51 to 65, inclusive. For example, {36, 47, 51, 55, 65} and {36, 47, 51, 60, 65} both satisfy the given conditions, meaning multiple values are possible for x.
