Statement 1:

All numbers between 11 and 19 fit this requirement, but it includes both primes and composites:

Prime: 11, 13, 17, 19
Composite: 12, 14, 15, 16, 18

INSUFFICIENT

Statement 2:

This set includes the numbers between 20 and 29 which also has both primes and composites.

INSUFFICIENT

Statements 1 and 2:

From the numbers between 20 and 29 where the tens digit is a factor of the units digit, we have only composites.

We know this because no even number besides 2 is a prime number:

22,24,26,28

SUFFICIENT

ANSWER: C.

Question stem states that n must be greater than 20.

(A) should be sufficient.
