1. If n is greater than 4, it could be 5 or 6

If n=5, $$\frac{100-n}{n} = \frac{95}{5} = 19$$

If n=6, $$\frac{100-n}{n} = \frac{94}{6} = \frac{47}{3}$$ which is not an integer (Insufficient)

2. If n^2 = 25, n can be 5 or -5

If n=5, $$\frac{100-n}{n} = \frac{95}{5} = 19$$

If n=-5, $$\frac{100-n}{n} = \frac{105}{-5} = -21$$ (Sufficient - Option B)

(100-n)/n can also be written as = 100/n - n/n = 100/n - 1
1 is an integer, so the above will be an integer only if 100 is divisible by n.

(1) n > 4, but we dont know whether n is a factor of 100 or not. If n=5 or say 10, then this will be an integer. But if n = 6 or 7 say, then not an integer.
So not sufficient.

(2) n^2 = 25 means that n = 5 or n = -5.
100/5 will give an integer (20) and 100/-5 will also give an integer (-20). In either case, 100/n - 1 will be an integer. So this is sufficient.
