Explanation
This is a number properties question, which means that it
will succumb either to analysis by cases, the use of rules, or a combination,
such as analysis of cases that leads us to stumble upon a rule. Anyway, the
question is straightforward. Let's go to the statements, evaluating them
separately first, as always.
We can look at Statement (1) by cases. Given the
statement, n could be 31, 41, 51,
131, 1331. In all of those cases, the final digit is
1. Will it be 1 in all cases? Yes, we convince ourselves. Sufficient.
Statement (2) is similar. Let's use cases. The variable n could be 12. It could be 34. Wait:
those have different final digits. So Statement (2) does not give sufficient
information to determine the final digit of n.
Insufficient.
The correct answer is (A).
