I did this one by plugging some integral values of y in the first statement.Deepthi Subbu wrote:If x and y are integers greater than 1 , then is x a multiple of y?
1. 3y^2 + 7y =x
2. x^2 - x is a multiple of y.
OA A
You can put in any +ve value for y , Value of x will always be multiple of y,
I know this is not the best way to solve a problem i was not able to figure out any other approach.
II ) statement is not giving much information. ( x^2 - x ) / y is a integer
=== x ( x - 1 ) / y is also an integer, plug in some values and answer is yes sometimes and No at time as well.
