ans E... way is to substitute value and still do it fast.. i) n^2 divisible by 4....n can be any even int so last digit of 4n can be (4*2=8),(4*4=16),(4*6=24) so last digit can be 8,6,4,2etc not suff. ii)n+2 is divisible by 6... n can be 4,10,16... so last digit can be 6,0,4... not suff.. combined more than value common so not suff...
