What is the remainder when integer n is divided by two?

(1) When n is divided by 5 the remainder is even.
(2) When n is divided by 4 the remainder is even.

We need to determine the remainder when integer n is divided by 2. Keep in mind that the only possible remainders when an integer is divided by 2 are 0 and 1.

Statement One Alone:

When n is divided by 5 the remainder is even.

The information in statement one is not sufficient to answer the question. For example, if n = 7, then the remainder when n is divided by 2 is 1; however, when n = 10, the remainder when n is divided by 2 is 0.

Statement Two Alone:

When n is divided by 4, the remainder is even.

Division of n by 4 produces an even remainder, so we know that n is even. If n is even, the remainder when n is divided by 2 will always be 0. Statement two alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Cases 1 when dividing N by 5 gets even remainder --> N = 7 or 9
Since
7/5=Rem 2 & 9/5=Rem 4
Now dividing 7 or 9 by 2 gives is 1.
Hence statement 1 alone is sufficient .

Now let's get to statement 2
And we have only one case that is 6 ,
On dividing 6 by 4 gives us 2(even remainder).

Hence , answer would be D.
Each statement alone is sufficient.
