Erin writes a list of every sixth integer in increasing order, starting with the positive integer x. Harry writes a list of every ninth integer in increasing order, starting with the positive integer y. Will any integer appear on both Erin’s list and Harry’s list?
(1) x is a multiple of y.
(2) x – y is a multiple of 3.
Breaking Down the Info:Erin's list will be x, x + 6, x + 12 .... and Harry's list will be y, y + 9, y + 18 ....
If x and y have a difference or 3, 6, or 9 etc, there will be an element that they share. E.g. If x = 3 and y = 6, then x + 12 = y + 9. If x = 3 and y = 9, then x + 6 = y. If x = 3 and y = 12, then x + 18 = y + 9.
Statement 1 Alone:If x = 14 and y = 7, then the difference is 7 and we don't have a difference of a multiple of 3. Insufficient.
Statement 2 Alone:As shown above, this is sufficient.
Answer: B
