When a positive integer \(m^2\) is divided by 4, what is the remainder?
1) When m is divided by 3, the remainder is 1
2) When m is divided by 2, the remainder is 1
==> In the original condition, there is 1 variable (m) and in order to match the number of variables to the number of equations, there must be 1 equation. Since there is 1 for con 1) and 1 for con 2), D is most likely to be the answer. For remainder questions, it is best to use direct substitution.
For con 1), if you substitute from m=3p+1=1,4,7…, from m=1, 1^2=1=4(0)+1, the remainder=1, and if m=4, from 4^2=16=4(4)+0, the remainder=0, hence it is not unique and not sufficient.
For con 2), from m=2q+1=1,3,5,7,…, you get m2=1,9,25,49.., and the remainder divided by 4 always becomes 1, hence it is unique and sufficient.
Therefore, the answer is B.
Answer: B
