A DS question

by violah345 Sun Apr 06, 2014 7:14 am

If (y+3)(y-1) - (y-2)(y-1) = r(y-1), what is the value of y?

(1) r2=25

(2) r = 5

AStatement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
BStatement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
CBOTH statement TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
DEACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
EStatements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

OA is E.

Is there anybody could help me with that? Many thanks.
