Dear GMATPrepNow Brent

Can you please shed light on this question. I do not know how answer would be D.

In Statement 1:

Let m=n=2..........x=24+16=40......then 40 is the greatest even number.

Let m=4 & n=2..........x=96+16=112......then 112 is the greatest even number.

It must insufficient.

In statement 2:

I can repeat same examples above and get same answers ...So insufficient

Answer must be E

What is the problem here? Can you help please?

Thanks in advance


I too have the same issue
