Question

Is the integer x an even number? Statement I: x is a multiple of 4. Statement II: x is a multiple of 3.

• A. Statement I alone is sufficient, but statement II alone is not sufficient.
• B. Statement II alone is sufficient, but statement I alone is not sufficient.
• C. Both statements together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
• D. Each statement alone is sufficient.

Hint:

Multiples of 4 are always even; multiples of 3 can be either.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A number divisible by 4 always contains the factor 2, guaranteeing even. Divisibility by 3 says nothing about the factor 2, so II fails. Only I is enough.
