multiple ....

Is X/12 an integer ?

1] X is multiple of 60.
2] X*X*X > 0
Thanks & Regards,

1) Sufficient. All multiples of 60 are multiples of 12.

2) No real useful information. Not sufficient. (2 * 2 * 2 > 0 but not divisible by 12. 6 * 6 * ^ is divisble and > 0)

Ah your post came right when I checked the forum before leaving office. :-)

I am no better buddy.
I think x=0 is also ok because there still wont be a remainder when you divide by 12.
If I am wrong, someone should respond. :)

Hmm i got the concept where i was lacking , i thought we need to have the info whether x is 0 or not but it is not required . so your answer is right . OA is also indeed A. Sometimes it feels really silly to have such issues while attempting 37 question in a string , thank god we dnt have any diffrential and intergral concepts in GMAT .
