An odd number can never be divisible by even number.
Hence B.

If x is an odd integer and y and z are even integers, which of the following CANNOT be an integer?

A. y/z
B. x/y
C. z/x
D. yx/z
E. zx/y

Since an odd/even WILL NOT equal an integer, let’s look for the answer choice that gives us odd/even.

Since x is odd and y is even, we see that x/y CANNOT equal an integer.

Answer: B
