from (1) n - 3 = 2K . n = 2K + 3. So n can be 3, 5, 7, 9 etc insufficient (2) 2K-4 is divisible by 7. 2K can be 11, 18, 25, 32, 39 etc Since K is integer, K can be 9, 16, etc insufficient Combining (1) and (2) n - 3 = 2K => n -3 = 7M + 4 (where M is any integer since 2K - 4 is divisible by 7) This m...

S = n(n+1)/2
(1) S < 20. Insufficient. n can be 1, 2 etc
(2) S^2 > 220. Insufficient . n can be 6, 7, etc

Taking (1) and (2) together, only n = 5 is possible. Sufficient

Let x = 5, y = -8
Condition 1) z = x + y . Hence z = -3
(y-z) = -5. clearly |x| = 5 is not equal to (y-z)

As per condition (2) x < 0.
Let x = -3, y = -8. Hence according to condition (1) z = -11.
|x| = 3.
(y-z) = 3

Hence both conditions are required.
