Numbers Set - Answer contridicts - Need expert advise please
Q) K is a set of numbers such that
a) if x is in K, then -x is in K, and
b) if each x and y is in K, then xy is in K.
Is 12 in K?
1) 2 is in K
2) 3 is in K
IMO is D
But OA is C
I still think my answer is correct. Please advise.

Hi All, Simple way would be to take the variables, consider this method. x be the amount of rice bought for 5 cents. y be the amount of rice bought for 6 cents. So total amount of rice is x+y Total cost price = 5x+6y Total sell price = 7(x+y) profit is 20%, so 7(x+y)/5x+6y = 120/100 = 1.2 7x+7y = 6x...
