(1) If x is divided by 3, the remainder is 2.
x can be 8 or 11; thus, x can be even or odd. Insufficient.
(2) If x is divided by 5, the remainder is 2.
x can be 7 or 12; thus, x can be even or odd. Insufficient.
(1) and (2) together
x can be 17 or 32; thus, x can be even or odd. Insufficient.
The correct answer: E
Hope this helps!
