I think answer is C
1. 1/y is integer..no info on X..Not Sufficient
2. 1/x is integer...this stmt can be true only if x=1..no info on Y..not sufficient...

Combining 1 and 2...x/y = x*(1/y)= 1 * integer = integer...hence answer is 'C'

What is OA?

I think you are not taking fractions into consideration, since X can be 1/2 or any such fractions which would mean, 1/x is still an integer.

Counter-example of C as it was said if:
x=1/2 with 1/x an integer
y=1/3 with 1/y an integer
x/y=3/2 which is not an integer

so E
