Answer should be C If N and S contain any even numbers ? 1. There are no prime numbers in S. 2. There are no multiples of 4 in S. From Stmt 2 -> S should be {1,2,3} From Stmt 1-> S will be {1} (take out the primes 2,3) Thus both the statements are required

1. There are no prime numbers in S.
2. There are no multiples of 4 in S. Seems the question is incomplet. "If N and S contain any even numbers?" doesnot make any sense. pls post the complete and correct question.

S1: I was thinkin ok S could be 0 or 1. If it has no prime numbers (I was thinking prime factors). S2: This doesnt tell us anything Together still nothing about N. I find the statements a bit odd for S as well when combining them. So Ima vote for none of the above

1. There are no prime numbers in S.
2. There are no multiples of 4 in S. Updated: make sense now and it should be E. 1: S could be 1, 4, 6 or 9 etc. 2: S could be 2, 6 or any odd. 1&2: S could be 6 or any non-prime odd. Assuming S only contains intergers.

1. There are no prime numbers in S.
2. There are no multiples of 4 in S.
S can have (9,15) both are not prime and not multiples of 4 Hence no even numbers
S can have (6,9,15) not prime and not multiples of 4. But has 6 as a even number.
E...

Vote E.
Statement 1: Tells us the set cannot contain 1,2,3,5,7,11,13,17...Tells us nothing about containing a even, other than 2. The set could contain 6.
Statement 2: Tells us the set cannot have multiples of 4. So 4,8,12,etc.. But the set could contain 6 or 10.
Together we learn nothing more.

No prime numbers in S.. That means.. S has numbers like 3,4,5,6,7... No multiples of 4.. so S has numbers like.. 6,10... Now, even if you combine both, you cant really get to any conclusion.. ! Hence E
