#1
The units digit of n is equal to the units digit of sum of n and (n + 1).
2n+1
for n= 9 only we get this relation satisfied
18+1 ; 19 unit digit is same as 9 single digit
sufficient
#2
n is the square of a single digit odd prime number
again true for value = 3,7 square ; 9,,25,49
least value is 9
sufficeint
IMO D

IMO D
from Statement 1 , we have n = 9,19,29 and n+1 = 10,20,30 among them the least is 9 sufficient
From Statement 2 ,
the square of single digit prime number which means n = 3 only , sufficient

Hi, could you clarify how exactly you arrived at the number \(n=9\)? Did you have to check every number from 0 to 9?
Thank you.

Statement 1- If n has the same unit digit as that of the sum of n and n+1, then unit digit of n must be 9. (9+0=9)
The least positive integer whose unit digit is 9=9
Sufficient
Statement 2- n is square of single digit prime numbers. Possible values are 9, 25 and 49
Least value of n is 9
(sufficient)
The least positive integer whose unit digit is 9=9
Sufficient
Statement 2- n is square of single digit prime numbers. Possible values are 9, 25 and 49
Least value of n is 9

Thank you.
Since we know the number is 2n+1, we can conclude it is ODD. So, we have to check only the odd number i.e 1,3,5,7,9 [even number can't have the same units digit as an odd number]. It will hardly take 10-15 sec.

Units digit of n+1 should be 0
Different possibilities of n = 9, 19, 29, . . . .
Least value of n = 9
Sufficient
II. n is the square of a single digit odd prime number.
--> n = 3^2 = 9
Only 1 possibility, n = 3
Sufficient
IMO Option D

Hello, my original thinking when I read this problem was that you don't even need to solve anything because no matter what the conditions are, it asks for the least possible value therefore there is only going to be one value that satisfies the statements and thus each will be sufficient.. could someone confirm or deny this methodology? It almost seems too simple... Thanks!
