If X^2 is an integer, X need not necessarily be an integer. Take X^2 = 3.
X = sqrt(3) [ positive root ] which is not an integer.

Hence E

here's how i look at it:

1) X can be any value between 1 and 4, not inclusive. let's assume X=1.1. plugging that into the question stem gives us 1.21+5Y=49. pretty obvious that Y is not an integer. let's say X=2. then we have 4+5Y=49. Y then is an integer. so we have determined both "yes" and "no" to the question. 1) is not sufficient. rule out A and D.

2) cover 1) up momentarily and just consider 2). X^2 is an integer, but X is not necessarily an integer. in the example given by jayhawk2001, the sqrt of 3 is roughly 1.73. point is, unless we know what X is, X^2 can be any integer (1, 5, 85, etc.), which gives us both "yes" and "no" to the question if Y is an integer. thus, 2) is not sufficient, so we rule out B. but 2) also indirectly addresses combining statements 1) and 2). since X^2 is part of the question and we know that X^2 IS an integer, we get different values for Y when X^2 takes on different values. thus, 1) and 2) are both insufficient. the answer is E.
