If n is an integer, what is the remainder when (n – 3)^2 is divided by 4?

(1) n is divisible by 2.
(2) n is divisible by 4.


Question: remainder when (n – 3)^2 is divided by 4?

Statement 1:n is divisible by 2.

@n=4, Remainder[(4-3)^2 / 4] = 1
@n=6, Remainder[(6-3)^2 / 4] = 1
@n=4, Remainder[(8-3)^2 / 4] = 1

i.e. Reminder is always 1 hence

SUFFICIENT

STatement 2: n is divisible by 4

As checked in statement 1, the remainder is always 1 when n is even hence when n is a multiple of 4 even then the remainder will be 1

SUFFICIENT

Answer: Option D

P.S. Industio n method is one of the most promising method when algebraic simplification is lengthy and/or complex
