Well you are absolutely right in your interpretation but this is a yes or no question not a value question.ifthyder wrote:using 1)the numbers could be from 33 to 35

The question simply asks is p a prime number or not?
1) 31 < p < 37
32 = 16*2
33 = 11*3
34 = 17*2
35 = 5*7
36 = 6*6 or 9*4
Hence, p is not a prime number, Sufficient.
2) p is odd
it does not tell us anything about p, prime numbers can be odd integers and non prime numbers can also be odd integers. Insufficient.
Thus, A is the answer.
