Ans C
Statement 1 :-Insufficient since cube root of all integers are not integers.
Statement 2:-Insufficient since 1 = 3 x 1/3 is an integer.

Considering both,we get the ans.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

(1) is insufficient because y could be a cube root

(2) is insufficient because y could be 1/3

combined we know that y is not a cube root and that y is not a fraction. Choose C
