Lynn was born on February 29th. She celebrates her birthday every year on the last day of February. Lynn's cousin, Pete, whose date of birth is the same as that of Lynn, celebrated his birthday today. Is it February 28th today? (1) Lynn had a birthday party exactly four years ago. (2) Pete turned exactly 24 years old today.
Each statement alone is sufficient.
Both statements provide enough information to determine that today is February 28th. Since Lynn was born on February 29th and only celebrates her birthday every year on the last day of February, if Pete is celebrating his birthday today and he is also born on February 29th, today must be the day before a leap year, making it February 28th.
Statement (1) indicates that Lynn had a birthday party exactly four years ago, which suggests she has had at least one birthday on February 28th, but it does not explicitly confirm the current date.
Statement (2) states that Pete turned exactly 24 years old today. While this implies a leap year context, it does not provide enough information on its own to confirm that today is February 28th.
While both statements contribute valuable information, each statement alone is indeed sufficient to determine that today is February 28th, making this choice incorrect.
This option is incorrect because both statements independently confirm that today is February 28th, making them sufficient.
Both statements alone offer sufficient information to conclude that today is February 28th. Statement (1) implies Lynn's birthday celebration context, while statement (2) clarifies Pete's age, reinforcing the leap year scenario. Therefore, the answer is that each statement alone is sufficient to answer the question accurately.
