NOT A:
If x, rounded to the nearest thousandth is 0.455,
,
because would be rounded up to ,
and would be rounded down to ,
but would be rounded down to ,
and would be rounded up to .
That is not enough information to find the result when x is rounded to the nearest hundredth,
because when rounding to the nearest hundredth,
, or ,
or any number such that ,
would be rounded down to ,
but , or ,
or any number such that ,
would be rounded up to .
NOT B (at least not the way I read it):
If the thousandths digit of x is 5,
but the result when x is rounded to the nearest hundredth is .
There are many numbers that have a 5 for the thousandths digit
We need to know the other digits too.
If the higher value digits were ,
it could be , which would round up to .
= (1) AND (2) TOGETHER:
(1) means that
(1) along with (2) means that ,
and would round up to for sure.
WARNING:
If by "(2) The thousandths digit of x is 5" we are supposed to assume that we somehow know that the digits to the left of the thousandths digit are ,
then B would be the answer.
