Given p>1 and p is an integer.

Question stem:- Is p a prime number

Statement-1:- p is odd
So, P=3,5,7,9,11,13,15..etc.
P is prime when p=3,5,7,11 etc and p is not prime when p=9,15 etc.
hence insufficient.
Statement-2:- The only positive factors of p are 1 and p.
It implies that p is a prime number.
Hence, sufficient.

Ans. (B)

(1) p is odd.

P = 3

P =15

Insufficient

(2) The only positive factors of p are 1 and p.

This is the definition of prime number.

2,3,5,7...etc all have 2 factors 1 & itself

Sufficent

Here's a video explanation on YouTube. As others have noted, statement (2) is really just one way of writing he definition of a prime number.
