Is the OA = E?
here is why
A. P= n^2 + 1
that could be more than one number, that could be 17 or 37
so INSUFFICIENT
B. P^2 is greater than 200
once again if p is 17^2 that's great than 200, so is 23^2 so is 37^2. INSUFFICIENT
A and B are no sufficient because either 17 or 37 could be P.
am i right?
