I think you meant to write x = root 16

Thanks for notifying me.
This question is from VeritasPrep LIVE online class.

It seems that the question is perfectly fine! Could you clarify how they contradict each other, please?
Thank you very much.

I know this was directed at Bunuel but the reason why these statements contradict each other is because:
1. Statement one gives the value of x = 4 (Not including fractions because kids can't be represented in fractions)
2. Statement two gives the value of \(x = 16^2\)
Ideally, when D is the right answer both the options should give us the same result.

Oops! Sorry. I have mistakenly quote the question. Can I edit?
The question should be:

1) 3\(<x<5\)
2) \(x^2=16\)

The answer is D

State 1: x=4 suff
State 2 : x=4 since , x cannot be -4.
Therefore, D
