What is the value of integer n?
(1) n(n+1) =6 --> \(n^2+n-6=0\) --> \((n+3)(n-2)=0\) --> \(n=-3\) or \(n=2\). Not sufficient.
(2) 2^(2n) = 16 --> \(2^{2n}=2^4\) --> \(2n=4\) --> \(n=2\). Sufficient.
Answer: B.

What is the value of integer n?
(1) n(n+1) =6
n & (n+1) means is TWO Consecutive integers.
Therefore, either 6 = 2 * 3 or 6 = -2 * -3 (do not forget negative values)
n =2 or -3
Insufficient
(2) 2^(2n) = 16
2^(2n) = 4 ^n = 16 = 4^2.......n =2
Sufficient
