Imo B

St1:
p=4 q=4
Yes

p=4 q=1/4
No

Not sufficient

St2:
Integer + q= not integer
Therefore, q can never be an integer
Sufficient

Statement 1: pq is an integer.
Lets say p=2
Thus p X q = 2 X 2, q =integer
p X q = 2 X 1/2, q =non- integer, INSUFFICIENT
Statement 2: p + q is not an integer
P is Integer, So Q must be non-integer. SUFFICIENT

(1) pq is an integer. If p = 2, q = 1/2 (not-integer), $$pq=2*1/2=1=integer$$, answer is no. If p = 2 q = 3, $$pq=2*3=6=integer$$ answer is a yes; insufficient.

(2) p + q is not an integer. If $$p+q = non-integer$$ and p = integer, then q must be a non-integer; sufficient.
