What is the sum of the remainders when n positive integers were divided by 2?
(1) The sum of n numbers is an even number.
(2) Eight numbers are odd.
[spoiler]why the answer is B? i am not convinced with the answer because we dont know how many numbers is n. n can have 9 or 10 numbers, and according to statement 2, ne has 8 odd numbers and 2 even numbers thus its remainders might be zero and 1 so insufficient.
statement 1: sum of n number is even... those numbers could has even numbers of odd numbers or even numbers of odd numbers + some even numbers.... sp insufficient
the answer should be E[/spoiler]
experts, please help me
