1. 4 is the integer that is closest to x+y
2. 1 is the integer that is closest to x-y
Answer is E

Highlight to see the answer!
Is the answer E
Lets take the following values that satisfy both the conditions yet dont not help us identify the values for x and y

x=2.5 y=1.5 (Here x+y =4, x-y =1, and x is closer to 3)
x=2.4 y=1.4 (Here x+y =3.8 is closer to 4, x-y=1, but x is closer to 2).

Whats the OA?
