1). x^1/3 is an integer
2). x^1/2 is not an integer
Statement 1: As x^(1/3) is an integer, (x^(1/3))^3 = x will be an integer too.

Sufficient

Statement 2: As x^(1/2) is not an integer, (x^(1/2))^2 = x may or may not be an integer.
For example, 5^(1/2) is not an integer but 5 is but 4^(1/2) and 4 both are integers.

Not sufficient

The correct answer is A.

Stmt 1 => (X)^(1/3) = i where I = integer.
Thus, x = i^3, which has to be an integer. SUFFICIENT.

Stmt 2 => (x)^(1/2) = n where n = non integer,
Thus x = n^2, if n = (13)^(1/2), then x = 13 hence x is an integer, however if n = (13)^(1/4), x = (13)^(1/2) a non integer. Hence NOT SUFFICIENT.

Hence A

Statement 2:
Take x=1.21 and x=2...Not Sufficient
