Explanation

24 = 2*3*4, if x²  is divisible by 24, x² must have factors of 2 and 3. 1)  only, x does not have factor of 3, so x² does not have factor of 3, x² cannot be divisible by 24, sufficient. 2)  only, x is odd, so x does not have factor of 2, so x²  does not have factor of 2, x² cannot be divisible by 24, sufficient.
