If y ≠ 3 and 3x/y is a prime integer greater than 2, which of the following must be true?
I. x = y
II. y = 1
III x and y are prime integers.

(A) None
(B) I only
(C) II only
(D) III only
(E) I and III

OA is (A)
Can someone explain why I ( x= y) is not true?

Thanks

If we pick x= -5 and y= -3, we get 3(-5)/(-3) = 5. So, x doesn't have to equal y.

x and y can be both negative for e.g. x=-7 and y=-3 hence not prime

or x and y can be both equal for e.g. x=4 and y=4 and may or may not be prime

thanks! for some reason, i forgot that prime numbers are positive numbers...but i looked it up on wikipedia. great explanation. also for plugging in numbers if the question says x and y ....then x can equal y when you plug in numbers? or you have to plug in different numbers because its different letters?

From what I can tell, to make 3x/y prime and have y not equal to 3, y has to be either x, 1 or -3. The allowance for x and y (at the same time, only) to be negative is what makes III not necessarily true.

VP_REdsoxfan---are you saying that x and y could be the same number when you plug in numbers in all data sufficiency scenarios or just this scenario?
