is the answer A?

Q is "n*integer=m"

(1) 3n^2+7n=m
n(3n+7)=m

(3n+7) is the integer

suff



(2) m^2-m is a multiple of n
n*integer=m*(m-1)

m>1 and n>1

m=n*a?

stmt1,

m=3n^2+7n=n(3n+7)

-->m=n*a[a=3n+7]

Suff

stmt2,

m^2-m=n*a

m(m-1)=n*a

Let m=6,n=3,a=10

-->6*5=3*10,m is multiple of n


Let m=4,n=3,a=4

-->4*3=3*4,m is not multiple of n

Insuff

Pick A
