statement 1 : gives nothing, if b is a multiple of 3 consecutive integers, it has to be a multiple of 3. Not Suff.

Statement 2 : lets plug values c is odd, we can have 1,2,3 -> not divisible by 24. OR we can have 23,24,25 -> divisible by 24. Not suff

Answer is E

I am using DS-1000 problems which I downloaded from this site.

The document does not contain explanation of the answers.
