If y is an integer and y =½x½ + x, is y = 0?
(1) x < 0
(2) y < 1
A. Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B. Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
C. BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
D. EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
E. Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
d
x= -3/4
E. We cannot determine if y = 0 since we do not know the value for x.
My Choice is E.
A
(1) If x<0, then y cannot be equal to 0.
A, as per Alice
go with E.
A
My pick is A for the following reason:
by statement 1 : Y cannot be 0 if x<0 as y becomes a complex number.Hence, we can have our answer
by statement 2: Y<1 does not give us a single answer as Y can take up a value of 0 as well as 1/2
Can the author plz post the OA
What is the answer to this question?
here iam not getting clear idea first mention if y integer means y integer values
go for first option here x <0 if we substitute x values that time y values decimals coming so it not satisfies.
go for second here y<1 for this given information not sufficient
here in the first option if not mention y integer answer A but in the first option mention if y integer so iam going E option.
if it wrong plz send me correct answer with explanation
Raun: Y cannot be 1/2 as y is integer. Please read the question carefully. IMHO answer should be E
E.
E .
