Hi,

With the given statements , we cannot even confirm if x is an INTEGER in the first place, let alone 'x' being ODD...
take n=18..
so I. \(x=\frac{24}{18}\)..
II. 72x is even .. \(72x = 72*\frac{24}{18} = 4*24 = 96\)
so combined Insuff

n = even integer less than 24
Is x odd?

Statement 1: 24/n=x
If n = 8, x = 3
If n = 4, x = 6
Hence no definite answer.
Insufficient

Statement 2: 72x is an even number
Since 72 is an even number, 72x will always be even.
Hence nothing can be said about x
Insufficient

Combining both statements:
Still nothing can be said.
Insufficient

I tried to solve it the below way:

consider n= -2, 0 or 2

1. Anything divided by 0 is not possible. hence, insufficient

2. obviously insufficient

1+2: Insufficient because of the same reason - 0.
