Is n an integer greater than 4?

(1) 3n is a positive integer. Insufficient--this only tells us that n is also positive.
(2) n/3 is a positive integer. Insufficient--n could be any multiple of 3 that is positive--3, 6, 9.

Choice E--even combined we only know that n is an integer and a positive multiple of 3. We cannot determine if n is less than or greater than 4.

Hi, I'm always wondering in these questions if by "positive" they mean "strictly positive" or also consider the case n=0 which is positive by definition (greater or equal to 0).

0 is neither positive nor negative number. Hence, ­a positive number is a number which is greater than zero.
