Is a two-digit integer 'x' dividible by 12?
I. When 'x' is divided by 5, the remainder is 2.
II. When 'x' is divided by 3, the remainder is 1.

A

if the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the questin, while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

B

if the data in statement II alon are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

C

if the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone in sufficient to answer the question.

D

if the data even in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

The correct Answer is:
To determine whether a two-digit integer \( x \) is divisible by 12, we need to analyze the two statements provided. ### Step 1: Understand the divisibility rule for 12 A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 3 and 4. Therefore, we need to check if \( x \) meets these criteria. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** When \( x \) is divided by 5, the remainder is 2. This means: \[ x = 5k + 2 \] for some integer \( k \). However, this statement does not provide any information about the divisibility of \( x \) by 3 or 4. Therefore, we cannot conclude whether \( x \) is divisible by 12 based solely on this statement. **Conclusion from Statement I:** Not sufficient. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** When \( x \) is divided by 3, the remainder is 1. This means: \[ x = 3m + 1 \] for some integer \( m \). Since \( x \) leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, it cannot be divisible by 3. Consequently, if \( x \) is not divisible by 3, it cannot be divisible by 12 (since 12 requires divisibility by both 3 and 4). **Conclusion from Statement II:** Sufficient to conclude that \( x \) is not divisible by 12. ### Final Conclusion - Statement I alone is not sufficient. - Statement II alone is sufficient. Thus, the answer is that **only Statement II is sufficient to determine whether \( x \) is divisible by 12**. ---
