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.

St1] This suggests that both m & p are even integers; this means r must be an even integer other than 0. Suff.
St2] Assume p = im + 1 and otherwise.
If p = im + 1, then m*p = 30. possible 5 & 6.
Otherwise 10 & 15. Insuff.
I pick A
