Workbook Wednesdays: Where-4 Art Thou Divisible?

Welcome to this week’s edition of Workbook Wednesdays, featuring the type of problem one would see if scoring above a 700 on the GMAT. As always, thanks to ManhattanGMAT for providing this week’s challenge problem! Be sure to check back tomorrow for the answer!

Question
If p, x, and y are positive integers, y is odd, and p = x² + y², is x divisible by 4?

(1) When p is divided by 8, the remainder is 5.

(2) x – y = 3

(A) Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (2) alone is not.
(B) Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient to answer the question, but statement (1) alone is not.
(C) Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are sufficient to answer the question, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
(D) EACH statement ALONE is sufficient to answer the question.
(E) Statements (1) and (2) TAKEN TOGETHER are NOT sufficient to answer the question.
