No...not the hallucinagen. I got this question on a GMATprep and must be missing something.

"In the fraction X/Y where X,Y are positive integers, what is the value of Y?"

1. The least common denominator of X/Y and 1/3 is 6

2. X=1

Answer was E. But I thought it should be A (doesn't Y have to be 2???).

TIA...

I think given Statement (1) that Y could also be 6....i.e. the LCD of 1/6 and 1/3 would also be 6

Statement I

LCM of x/y and 1/3 is 6

y could be 6
y could be 2


Insufficient.

Statement II

x=1, y could be anything

Insufficient.

Combining I & II

x=1

still y could be 2 or 6 or anything else.

Insufficient.

Hence E is the answer.

Hope this helps.
