St 1: when n is divided by 21 ( 7 and 3) the remainder is an odd number. But it cannot be 7, 3 or 9 . Hence the possibilities are : 1 and 5.

Thanks Anurag ...would you like to say something on point 4 " Universal Truth/Law/rule of prime factorization"
Last example was much more clear to me. http://www.beatthegmat.com/factors-t87175.html

My reasoning
1. This is popular,people are not minding to pay more and already cpatured more than half of the market - this clearly infers more people have that ,hence sell is higher comparatively

Negative numbers are never considered prime. The smallest prime number is 2. If a number is both even and prime, that number must be equal to 2, which makes Statement 1 sufficient. Need a clarification... point 1 said N is prime and N^6 is even , this is not said 'N' itself is even prime, so I thin...
