Hi guys:
It seems that explanation of both 1) and 2) are not so good.
in equation x^2Y^3=200 we can find that \((5^2)*(2^3)=200\) - here is the point that x may be 5 or -5. Unless we can decide it, we can not solve the DS problem.
Y is positive since 200 is positive.
1) we are given that y is an integer- tells us nothing,
x*y=-10 or X*y=10 - not sufficient
2) \(x/y=2.5\) - tells that either both x and y are positive or negative. We know that y is positive so x - must be positive, thus we can find the value of x*y.
