If n is an integer, is n + 2 a prime number?

(1) n is a prime number.
(2) n + 1 is not a prime number.


Statement 1)

n = 2,3,5,7, 11 etc..

If 2+2 = 4 not a prime
If 3+2 = 5 prime

Insufficient.

Statement 2)

n+1 not a prime

Let n = 3
4 is not a prime (satisfying the statement)
3+2 = 5 a prime.

Try n = 7

7+2 = 9 not a prime. Insufficient.

Now combine (1) and (2)

n = 3 or 7 will give two different answers

Insufficient.

Answer choice E

N = Integer, N + 2 = Prime?

St 1: N is prime
Case 1: Let N be 2 & 2+2=4 (Not prime)
Case 2: Let N be 3 & 3+2 =5 (Prime)
Insufficient

St 2: N + 1 = Not Prime
Case 1: Let N be 5, 5+1=6(NP) & 5+2 =7(P)
Case 2: Let N be 7, 7+1=8(NP) & 7+2=9(NP)

Insufficient

St 1 & St 2:
N is prime & N + 1 is not prime.
The cases in St 2(Highlighted in green) will prove the Statements 1 and 2 together prove insufficient.

Hence E is the answer
