statement 1)
x > 3!
3!= 3* 2*1 ..... 3,2,1 are factors
4!= 4*3*2*1 ..... 4,3,2,1 are factors

so x will always have a factor between 1<n<x
sufficient

Statement 2)
15!+2<=x<=15!+15

now 15! + 2 = 15*14*13....*2*1 + 2 = 2(15*14*13.... +1)
so 2 is a factor of 15!+2
u can do the same for 3,4,5.... 15

hence there will always be a factor
sufficient

IMO: D

Statement 1 says x is greater than 3! but does not mention that the number must be a factorial , so it can be a prime too like 11 .
I thought in this way .
And was too lazy to solve the 2nd one .
Can i have the OA please?

(1) x > 3!

(2) 15! + 2 ≤ x ≤ 15! + 15


[spoiler]
OA B. Grockit[/spoiler]
Option 1 is not enough as x can be 7

Option 2 is enough as 15!+2 is nothing but multiple of 2.
15! has 2 as one of the factor. so when (2) is added to 15! it is divisible by 2.
Likewise for all the numbers till 15.

Thanks narik. You made it look so simple. And it was so..

Can anyone please tell me a generic method to solve inequalities. I am bogged down by them and then resort to plugging.
