Given, m is positive integer
1) m=2k+1
we are not told about the value of K.
If K=1/2, then m = 1+1 =2 (Even)
If K=1, then m= 2+1 = 3 (Odd)
Insufficient
2) m = 3n = 3, 6, 9,12, etc.
It could be even or odd.
Insufficient
1 & 2 combined:
m=3N and of the form 2K+1,
So, out of 3, 6, 9, 12, etc. the only acceptable values are of the form 2K+1 i.e 3, 9, 15 etc.(Odd), when K is an integer
but, when K is a fraction these values can also be written with m being an even number eg. m=2(\(\frac{5}{2}\))+1 = 6 (Even)
Both are InSufficient.

But when we take 1&2 combined, 6 can be made from 2k+1 if k = 5/2. I don't see any restriction on k, so I guess even both cannot answer the question and I would say answer E. What do you think?
