18. If K is a positive integer, is K the square of an integer?
(1) K is divisible by 4
(2) K is divisible by exactly 4 different prime numbers

(A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
(B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
(C) BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

1) K could be 8 or 16. INSUFF

2) Irrelevant info. INSUFF

Stmt 1 - K is divisble by 4.. so nos can be 4, 8, 12... not all numbers are sq of an int - NOT SUFF

Stmt 2 - k is divisble be 4 prime nos - so if we choose no as 2*3*5*7 = 210.. this is divisble be 4 prime nos but not a square of an int.. however, we can have a no 210^2 - divisible by 2,3, 5, 7 but also square.. NOT SUFF

Together - NOT SUFF

So E
