if m is an integer, is 14 a factor of m?

1 14 is factor of 15m.
2. 14 is factor of 16m


A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) ALONE is not sufficient.
B. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) ALONE is not sufficient.
C. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient

I think its A.

As if 15m/14 yields an int, then m should be divisible by 14.

For Stmt II, As 16 and 14 have a common factor 2,
so we can't be sure whether m/14 will be an int or not.

Thus, A.
