Solution

The correct option is B Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

(b)

Statement A implies (x, y) = {(2, 3), (2, 6), (1, 12), (2, 12)}

This implies x+y may be even or odd.

Statement (A) alone is not sufficient

Statement B: x, y = {(2, 2), (2, 6), (2, 8)...} i.e. X and y are both even numbers.

Statement B alone is sufficient.
