(1) n/36 is an odd integer
(2) n/42 is an even integer

Thanks in advanced
(1) n/36 is an odd integer.
n/36 = odd
n = 36 * odd
n = 36 * 3 = 108
n = 36 * 5 = 180
No definite answer; NOT sufficient.

(2) n/42 is an even integer.
n/42 = even
n = 42 * even
n = 42 * 4 = 168, which is the only possible value in the given range; SUFFICIENT.

The correct answer is B.
