2016 Fermat Problem 19
There are n students in the math club at Scoins Secondary School. When Mrs. Fryer tries to put the n students in groups of 4, there is one group with fewer than 4 students, but all of the other groups are complete. When she tries to put the n students in groups of 3, there are 3 more complete groups than there were with groups of 4, and there is again exactly one group that is not complete. When she tries to put the n students in groups of 2, there are 5 more complete groups than there were with groups of 3, and there is again exactly one group that is not complete. The sum of the digits of the integer equal to n^2 - n is
\textbf{(A)}\ 11\quad \textbf{(B)}\ 12\quad \textbf{(C)}\ 20\quad \textbf{(D)}\ 13\quad \textbf{(E)}\ 10
