Is x an integer?
1. 6x is a fraction
2. 7x is an integer
So am a bit confused here by stmt 1
Let us take stmt 1 - 6x could equal 12 which is a fraction (12/1) hence x is an integer, however 6x could also equal say 13/7, hence x = 13/42 a fraction. Hence 1 is NOT SUFFICIENT. Does the logic seem reasonable?
In the real test I thought fraction to be 3/4, 5/7 aka anything without a numerator of 1. Then stmt 1 is sufficient to answer the question.
Stmt 2 is not sufficient since 7x could be 70 or 68, hence x is an integer in the former but not in the latter.
The OA is E
