(1)

N - 7 is an integer

(2)

N
1
3 is an integer

Statement 1) N-7 is an integer. Since 7 is also an integer hence N must also be an integer. Sufficient
Statement 2) It can be written as 3N is an integer. N can be a a fraction such as 1/3, then also 3N will be an inetger or N can be an integer even then 3N will be an integer. Two cases, hence insufficient.

Is the number n an integer?

(1) N - 7 is an integer --> n-7=integer --> n=integer+7=integer. Sufficient.

(2) N/1/3 is an integer. 3n=integer. If n=1, then the answer is YES but if n=1/3, then the answer is NO. Not sufficient.

Answer: A.
