What is the two-digit number whose first digit is "a" and the second digit is "b"?. The number is greater than 9.
I. The number is multiple of 51.
II. The sum of the digits "a" and "b" is 6.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

From statement I:

A two digit number, greater than 9 and multiple of 51 should be 51 itself.

Therefore, I alone sufficient to answer.

From statement II:

A two digit number, greater than 9 and sum of the digit is 6.

Give answer
a)if only argument I is strong
b)if only argument II is strong
c)if either I or II is strong
d)if neither I or II are strong
