(3) Bizzhy says:

Answer is C.

1. K/(n^2) is an int.

The question is, Is k/(m^2) an int.
So, its not possible to get answer from the statement 1

2. n/m is an int. we don’t see any relationship between k and n.

So, its not possible to derive a conclusion only with statement 2.

When combining two statements,

We know, n/m is an int from 2.

from 1 and 2, if k/(n^2) is an int. surely k/(m^2) will in an int.

(4) Annie says:

Answer is C
Statement 1 or 2 alone can get the answer.
If both 1 and 2 are sufficient, the answer can be done as:
If k/n(^2) is an integer, n is not 0
If n/m is an integer, m is not 0 and n/m*(n/m) is an integer. So, n(^2)/m(^2) is an integer.
Combining k/n(^2) and n(^2)/m(^2) is should be an integer.
Because n is not 0, we get the answer is k/m(^2) which is an integer.
