Review: Value of k
Explanation
This question gives us an unnecessarily awkward equation.
But the situation is simple: we have one equation with two variables. We need
to know k. We will get it through
knowing m, or possibly through
fortuitous algebra. On to the statements, separately first.
Statement (1) gives us m,
so we can solve for k. Sufficient.
Statement (2) gives us another equation, so it is probably
sufficient. Indeed, multiplying both sides by m, we see that it tells us that k
is zero. And the value of k is
all we want, and we have it--it's zero. Statement (2) is sufficient.
The correct answer is (D).
