If $$x$$ and $$y$$ are nonzero integers, what is the remainder when $$x$$ is divided by $$y$$ ?

(1) When $$x$$ is divided by $$2y$$, the remainder is $$4$$.

(2) When $$x + y$$ is divided by $$y$$, the remainder is $$4$$.

Depends on the value of x and y..
x=4, y is anything greater than 4, say 10
then 4 divided by 2*10 and 4 divided by 10 will leave 4 as remainder..
x=4, but y<x, say 3..
4 divided by 2*3 leaves 4as remainder but 4 divided by 3 leaves 1 as remainder
Insuff

(2) When $$x + y$$ is divided by $$y$$, the remainder is $$4$$.
x+y divided by y.. but y will leave 0 as remainder when y is divided by y..
Tbus x divided by y must give 4 as remainder
Sufficient

(1) When $$x$$ is divided by $$2y$$, the remainder is $$4$$.
--> 2y > 4 --> y>2
If y=3, x=10 --> remainder when x is divided by y is 1
If y=4, x=12 --> remainder when x is divided by y is 0
--> Not sufficient.

(2) When $$x + y$$ is divided by $$y$$, the remainder is $$4$$.
--> $$(\frac{x+y}{y})_{Remainder}$$ = 4
--> $$(\frac{x}{y})_{Remainder} + (\frac{y}{y})_{Remainder}$$ = 4
--> $$(\frac{x}{y})_{Remainder}$$ + 0 = 4
--> $$(\frac{x}{y})_{Remainder}$$ = 4 --> Sufficient
