If x and y are positive integers and \(y(2^x)=24\), x=?
1) x≥2
2) y is even
1) x≥2
2) y is even
I had the answer E.
Statement 1: If x is 2, 2x2=4, therefore 4x6=24
but also, if x is 6, 2x6=12, therefore 12x2=24, so insufficient
Statement 2: As above, y can be even, but x still not be exclusively determined, hence insufficient.
Both together - same examples, x could be 2 or 6, with y being even (in those cases 4 and 12), therefore both are insufficient = E??
