if x,y and z are integers, is x(y^2 + z^3) even ?
(1) x is odd
(2) xyz is odd
OA is B , but I got C
(1) x is odd

is x(y^2 + z^3) even ?
stmt 1) x is odd
case 1: y and z even=>O(E+E)=E
case 2: y and z odd=> O(O+O)=O*E=E
case 3: x even, y odd or vice versa=> O(O+E)=O*O=O
not sufficient
stmt 2) xyz is odd
=> x, y and z all are odd (if any one was even then xyz would have been even)
O(O+O)=O*E=E
sufficient
hence B
