[GMAT math practice question]

If \(n\) is a positive integer, is \(3^4+3^{n+4}\) divisible by \(5\)?

1) \(n\) is an even integer.
2) \(3^8 +3^{n+8}\) is divisible by \(5\).


Statement One Alone:

n is an even integer.

If n = 2, 3^4 + 3^6 = 3^4(1 + 3^2) = 3^4(10), which is divisible by 5.

If n = 4, 3^4 + 3^8 = 3^4(1 + 3^4) = 3^4(82), which is not divisible by 5.

Statement one alone is not sufficient.

Statement Two Alone:

3^8 + 3^{n+8} is divisible by 5.

3^8 + 3^{n+8} = 3^4(3^4 + 3^{n+4})

We are given that 3^8 + 3^{n+8} is
