If X and Y are positive integers is Y odd? 1. (Y+2)!/X! is odd integer Here, Statement 1 can also be proved insufficient If (Y+2)!/X! is Odd then following two possibilities exist - --> Y=odd, X=Y+1 Then, (Y+2)!/(Y+1) = (Y+2) As Y is odd, Y+2 is also odd --> (Y+2)!/X! = 1 (Y+2)! = X! This can state...

(1% of x gallon) + (2% of y gallons) + (3% of z gallons) = 1.5% of (x+y+z) gallons
((x/100)+(2y/100)+(3z/100))/(x+y+z) = 1.5/100

(x+2y+3z)/(x+y+z) = 1.5
x+2y+3z = 1.5x+1.5y+1.5z
0.5y+1.5z = 0.5x
x = y+3z

Option A
