\(X = P*N^K + P\) .. All are positive integers. X odd?
(1) \(N + KN = 915\)
Only 1 Case to satisfy above statement: odd + even = odd, hence we know that
N is odd and K is even due to which KN becomes even.
We do not know about P and hence INSUFFICIENT
A D / B C E
(2) \(P^{35} + 35^P\) is even
We know that \(35^P\) will always be odd irrespective of P whether it is odd or even. So, only 1 case that satisfies this equations is Odd + odd = Even. We can figure out that
P is odd to make \(P^{35}\) odd . We do not know about N and K and hence INSUFFICIENT
A D /
B C E
Combining both statements - we will get N is odd and K is even and P is odd ... SUFFICIENT
'C' is the winner
Bunuel
If \(X = P*N^K + P\) where P, N and K are positive integers, is X odd?
(1) \(N + KN = 915\)
(2) \(P^{35} + 35^P\) is even
