The integers m and p are such that 2<m<p and m is not a factor of p. If r is the remainder when p is divided by m, is r>1?

1. the greatest common factor of m and p is 2
2. the least common multiple of m and p is 30.

IMO it is A

1) tells us that the numbers are even but the not divisible as the greatest common factor is 2. The remanider has to be greater than 1

2) 3, 10, 15, 6, 5 are all that could have 30 as a common multiple. 10/3 leaves remainder 1 and 5/3 leaves 2 which is greater that 1 --Insufficient

Yes, the answer should be A. 1) tells us that m and p are even, so the remainder will be even when p is divided by m. Since we're told the remainder is not zero (since p is not a factor of m), the remainder must be 2 or greater. Statement 2 is not sufficient, but:

you cannot use 5 and 3 here; the LCM of 5 and 3 is 15, not 30. You can, however, use m = 6 and p = 10.

Dear Ian,

You made a mistake. It can not be true that m=10 and p=6 since in the stem it is stated that 2<m<p.

Thus, I think that answer is D. But you are the GMAT genius here (this was just a careless mistake :D) . Please is the answer D or A?

Thanks for catching that, ricaototti- I simply had m and p in the wrong order. It should have read m=6 and p=10. The solution is correct otherwise; using only Statement 2, it's possible that the remainder is greater than 1 (if, say, m=6 and p=10) or equal to 1 (if, say, m=5 and p=6). So the second statement is not sufficient on its own.
