I. \(y^2\) is divisible by 25.
II. \(y^2\) is divisible by 100
III. \(\frac{3y}{15}\) is an integer
A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II only
E. I and III only
If 36y = 10, then y = 10/36 = 5/18.
Implication:
y=5/18 satisfies the condition that positive integer 36y is divisible by 10, since 36 * 5/18 = 10.
If y=5/18, then none of the options is true.
The problem is flawed.
