This one is simple.
A is ans here.

Plugin the values you would get 1 as reminder in each case.

Statement 2 doesn't tell anything about n.insufficient.

Just test with two types of numbers namely even and odd for the 1st statement

If k=2 then n=(2+1)^3 =27

n/k=27/2 which will give a remainder of 1

If k=3 then n=(4)^3 =64

n/k=64/3 which will again give a remainder of 1

(2) is clearly insufficient
