Consiter the following example. Examplet oa If mand m are posttve integers, Is m odd? 4\7m="4n 47 2)m+niseven, Statement (l ALONE Is sufficient, but statement (2) alone Is not sutficiont. Statement (2) ALONE Is sufficient, but statement () alone Is not sufficient © BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE Is sulficient, EACH statement ALONE Is sufficient. Statements (9) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sumeient, Consider the following examples. Example 2 on Ifm and n are integers and mn +n? is add, which of the following must be add? Lom I nem mea, Only only and I and Il .tlana iExample 3 oo Itsy, and 2 are integers, is xyz even? 1) By san integer 2) 2s ode. Statement () ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient Statement 2) ALONE is sufficient but statement () alone is not sufficient. OTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient ‘Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient, Note: Muttiplication rules for even and odd numbers can also be derived on paper as needed by ‘substituting numbers into the expression. Consider the following example. Example 4 oa ify, and z are integers, wiiet fs the remainder when xyz is divided by 2 1) Gxy is even. 2) 92x\s oven. Statement () ALONE is suficent, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient ‘Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement () alone fs not surficient BOTH statements TOGETHER are sulficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient. Statements (1) anc (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient,Let's nov practice some examples. Example 5 ona ifm* > 0 and n? <0, which of the following must be true? Imn0 only only land ana i None Example 6 Sa IfX and y do not equal zero, is xy < 0? yy 0, which of the following must be true? z>0 ab>0 abed> 0 b?-a*>0 az+bz>0Consider the following example. Example 9 oa Ifa, b, d, and x are positive integers, and x = 3abd, all of the following must be factors of x except, a ab ad 3d 2a Consider the following example: Example 10 oa If, b, ¢, d, and x are positive integers, and x= 3aba, all of the following must be multiples of x except Sabed Babed ‘1Babd > Babe 4Sabed
