n divisible by 6?

Expert replies
by crackgmat007 » Wed May 13, 2009 9:08 pm
If n and k are positive integers, is n divisible by 6?
(1) n = k(k + 1)(k - 1)
(2) k – 1 is a multiple of 3.

Is statement 1 alone is sufficient? Can anyone clarify this pls? Tx much.

Statement (1): You cannot consider 0,1,2. Though 1,2 are positive, the product (n) becomes 0.

Consider any three consecutive numbers[ k-1, k, k+1] such as 1, 2, 3 or 2, 3, 4 or 4, 5, 6 ... Their product is divisible by 6.

(A)

You can also consider k=1

0 is divisible by any number or 0 is a multiple of every number.

IMO B.

Furthermore, think of the equation in the first statement

It is telling you that n = the product of three consecutive numbers

A number is divisible by 6 is it is divisible by 3 and by 2. Three consecutive positive numbers will always meet this requirement.

In Stmt 2, we have only information only about K. How does it help you to determine divisibility of n by 6. means you considered information stated in stmt 1 without knowing :D

.
when you select K=1, n becomes 0...and as per info given, n is a positive integer...and hence it cant be 0, Note: 0 is neither positive nor negative
