What is the value of x?

(1) x^2 + x - 12 = 0
(2) x^2 < 25


(1)\(x^2 + x - 12 = 0\)
\(x^2 + 4x - 3x -12 = 0\)
\((x +4) (x - 3) = 0\)

x = -4 or3
Hence Insufficient

(2)\(x^2 < 25\)
x^2 - 5^2 < 0
(x + 5)(x - 5) < 0

x =(-5,5)
Hence Insuff

(1) + (2) : x could be either -4 or 3.
Hence insuff
HenceOption (E) is our answer.
