x is the sum of y consecutive integers. w is the sum of z consecutive integers. If y = 2z, and y and z are both positive integers, then each of the following could be true EXCEPT

a) x=w
b) x>w
c) x/y is an integer
d) w/z is an integer
e) x/z is an integer

However I got the answer to this question correct, it took me 5mins and 12 secs to solve in a CAT.
Was confused between options A & C.

I never thought of picking z=1 and y=2, which is why it took me long to solve this question...
