题目
When positive integer n is divided by 7, the remainder is 2. What is the value of n?
(1) n is less than 20.
(2) When n is divided by 8, the remainder is 0.
选项
A.Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B.Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C.BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
D.EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
E.Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
解析
当正整数\(n\)除以\(7\)时,余数是\(2\)。\(n\)的值是多少?
- **条件(1)**:\(n\)小于\(20\)。
- **条件(2)**:当\(n\)除以\(8\)时,余数是\(0\)。
- **根据已知条件分析**
已知\(n\)除以\(7\)余数为\(2\),根据余数的定义,我们可以表示\(n = 7k+2\),其中\(k\)是一个非负整数。
- **分析条件(1)**
如果\(n<20\),那么\(n\)可能的值有\(2\)(当\(k = 0\)时)、\(9\)(当\(k=1\)时)、\(16\)(当\(k = 2\)时)等,不唯一确定,所以条件(1)单独不充分。
- **分析条件(2)**
如果\(n\)除以\(8\)余数为\(0\),即\(n = 8m\),其中\(m\)是一个正整数。仅根据此条件,有无数个\(n\)的值满足,所以条件(2)单独不充分。
- **综合分析条件(1)和(2)**
由\(n=7k + 2\)且\(n=8m\),同时\(n<20\)。
当\(k = 2\)时,\(n=7\times2+2=16\),且\(16\div8=2\)余数为\(0\),满足两个条件。所以综合两个条件可以确定\(n = 16\),两个条件一起充分。
综上,答案是C。
