Hello
This is a slightly different question to what i posted earlier
https://www.beatthegmat.com/is-p-divisib ... 93231.html
Is pq divisible by 168?
(1) p is divisible by 14
(2) q is divisible by 12
Statement 1
p is divisible by 2 x 7
Not Sufficient
Statement 2
q is divisible by 2 x 2 x 3
Not Sufficient
Combine
LCM of p and q is 2 x 2 x 3 x 7 = 84.
Testing numbers
84 is not divisible by 168
168 is divisible by 168.
So the solution should be E and not C
