(1) 36n is an odd integer.
(2) 45n is an even integer.
1) is not sufficient since n can be 3 or 5
2) is sufficient since n can only be 4 in this case, B

If n is an integer, then how on earth can 36 n be an odd integer, ajith? Am I missing something here?

Also to add to point from Sanju . How can we assume n to 3 or 5 when 100<n<200 ?

and 36 * n can never be an odd number .

If the problem is written correct , then answer should be E .

I think the correct qs is
100< X< 200. What is the value of X?
1.X/36 is an odd ingeter
2.X/45 is an even integer
