1 - insufficient. 3n = 15t implies n = 5t. For integer values of t, there existsgviren wrote:If n is an integer, is n/15 an integer?

a n that satisfies eqn. n is not unique
2 - sufficient. 8n = 15t. n = 15t/8. We are given n is an integer and so t
has to be a multiple of 8. If t = 8s, then n = 15*8s / 8. So, n/15 is an
integer.
Hence B
