m = nx+12 -- x should be a positive integer
m/n = x + 12/n
x + 12/n = 24.2
10x + 120/n = 242
x = (242 - 120/n) /10
-- amongst the options only 60 will make x positive integer.
another method could be
24 + 0.2 = m/n
24 + 1/5 = x + 12/n
1/5 = 12/n (as these are remainders)
n = 60

We get two different answers(Yes and NO). Hence Insufficient.
