2) X divided by 4 leaves no remainder.

Follow posting guidelines (link in my signatures), especially for choosing the correct forum to post your questions, adding the proper tags and formatting the question properly.

As for the question,

You are given that x is an integer and the question asks whether x=5p , where p is an integer $$\geq$$ 0

Per statement 1, x=3q+2 ---> x=2,5,8,11,14,17,20 etc ---> You get both "yes" if x=5 or 20 and "no" if x=2 or 8. Thus, NOT sufficient.

Per statement 2, x=4r ---> x=4,8,12,16,20 etc ---> You get both "yes" if x= 20 and "no" if x=4 or 8. Thus, NOT sufficient.

Combining the 2 statements, you end up getting common values as x=8 or 20, again giving you 2 different answers to the question asked. NOT sufficient.

Thus, E is the correct answer.

Hope this helps.
