问题 If b is an integer, is an integer?
(1) a2 + b2 is an integer.
(2) a2-3b2 = 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.

解析 Given that b is an integer, determine if is an integer.
(1)     It is given that a2 + b2 is an integer. If a = 3 and b = 4, then = 5, which is an integer. However, if a=l and b = 2, then , which is not an integer; NOT sufficient.
(2)     It is given that a2 - 3b 2 = 0, from which it follows that a 2 = 3b2.Then, , which is an integer; SUFFICIENT.
