Bunuel · Answer

If n is a positive integer, is n equal to 6?

(1)  n^2  + 1 is a prime number --> n can be 6 because 6^2 + 1 = 37 = prime but n can also be 4, because 4^2 + 1 = 17 = prime. Not sufficient.

(2) n > 2. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) We can use the example from (1) again. Not sufficient.

Answer: E.

n is a positive integer, n= 6?

(1) n^2 + 1 is a prime number.
n=1 => 2 prime
n=2 =>5 prime
n=4 => 17 prime
n=6 => 37 prime
Not sufficient

(2) n > 2
Not sufficient .. n can be anything >2

1+2
if n> 2.. by 1 we can clearly see that we know 2 values of n=> 4 or 6
So not sufficient
