If m is a positive integer, is √m a prime number?
I. √m leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 6
II. m has 3 factors

Using Statement 1, √m could be 7, and could be prime, or √m could be 25, and could be non-prime.
The only numbers with precisely 3 divisors are the squares of primes: if p is prime, the number p^2 has the divisors 1, p and p^2 (any number with two distinct prime divisors p and q will always have at least the four divisors 1, p, q and pq, so our number here can only have one prime factor p, and if it has exactly 3 divisors, it must be equal to p^2). So Statement 2 is sufficient.

IanStewart,buneul
i found that answer should be D
I was not able to prove statement 1 false i only got three numbers that are prime
25,49,121 and square root of them is prime numbers
statement 2 is sufficient
because a perfect square prime has three factors
for me the answer is D, please help
