If p is a postive integer less than 29 and q is the remainder when 29 is divided by p, what is the value of q?
(1) p is a two-digit number.
(2) p = 3^k, where k is a positive integer.
C
however, i believe statement 2 is sufficient to answer the question. if k=1 then the remainder is 2---> 29/3 remainder is 2
if k = 2 then p is 9 and still the remiander is 2
if k = 3 then p is 27 and still the remainder is 2. the question stem says that p is less than 29 so it limits the property of p to 3, 9 or 27. in all three cases, the remiander is 2.
