(1) x/2 is an integer
(2) 2x is an integer

I used a fraction (4/2) in A to prove that X is not an integer but OA is different


For these integer questions, we can always set the integer equal to \(i\), where \(i\) represents any integer (or positive integer to test values).

Statement 1:
\(x/2 = i\), \(x = 2*i\). Thus x is double of any integer, which is still an integer. Then x must be an integer. Sufficient.

Statement 2:
\(2x = i\), \(x = i/2\). Thus x is half of any integer, which doesn't always result in an integer. Then x isn't always an integer, insufficient.
