1. Not sufficient, n could be = 8, 16, ... 48

2. Not sufficient, n could be 12, 24, 36, 48

If n is a multiple of 6 and 4, n could be = 24, 48, or could also be = 12

Hence E

E.

1) n could be 4, 8, 12 so on, so not suff
2) same concept as 1)

Combined: n could be 12, 24, 36... so no one solution. I like these questions :)

(1) Insufficient.

n can be 12, then n is not divisible by 24 but divisible by 4
n can be 24, then n is divisible by both 24 and 4.

(2) Insufficient.
Same reasoning as (1).

Using both (1) and (2)
the LCM of 4 and 6 = 12. So n may or not may not be divisible by 4.

Insufficient.

Agreed E


From 1 n has factors 2x2xA
From 2 n has factors 2x3xB

Thus, when combining, the LCM, 2x2x3xAxB

is A and B are 1 (like in 12)
it satisfies both eq I and eq II, but it is not divisible by 24!

Hence, not enuff Data - E!
