Answer: D
We need to determine whether every number of T is from Y, that is, whether every number of T is even.
Statement I: The sum of any two numbers belonging to T is even.
This means that all numbers in T must have the same parity. They may all be even, or they may all be odd.
For example:
- If T={2,4}, then the sum of any two numbers is even, and every number is from Y.
- If T={1,3}, then the sum of any two numbers is also even, but every number is from X, not from Y.
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient.
Statement II: If both p and q are picked from T, then (p−1)q is even.
If all numbers in T are even, then q is even, so (p−1)q is even.
If all numbers in T are odd, then p−1 is even, so (p−1)q is also even.
Thus, Statement II is satisfied when all numbers are even and also when all numbers are odd. Hence, Statement II alone is not sufficient.
Using both statements together:
Even together, the statements allow both possibilities:
- T may contain only even numbers, in which case every number of T is from Y.
- T may contain only odd numbers, in which case no number of T is from Y.
Therefore, the question cannot be answered even using both statements together.
