Question: Is n odd?
Statement 1:n^2 - 2n is not a multiple of 4.
n^2 - 2n =n*(n-2)
n and n-2 should both be either Consecutive Even integers or Consecutive ODD integers
If they were consecutive Even integers then n*(n-2) musthave been divisible by 4
Since n*(n-2) is NOT divisible by 4 therefore n and n-2 both MUST BE ODD INTEGERS
answer to the question is Definitely NO hence
SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: n is a multiple of 3.
i.e.n may be 3 (odd) or 6 ( even) hence
NOT SUFFICIENT
ANSWER: OPTION A

for statement 1 : n could be equal to 2 so n x (n-2) is not divisible by 4 and yet n is not odd.
statements 1 + 2 : n is definitely odd hence I believe it should be C.
