Is this correct logic?

I think you got it.

Statement 1

9x = 2xy + 5
x(9 - 2y) = 5
5 is prime and we can express as 1 * 5 or 5 * 1
x = 1 and 9 - 2y = 5; i.e. y = 2
Now if y = 2, 2y is 4 and we cannot have remainder as 5.

Thus we can eliminate that case and x = 5

Statement 2

5y - xy = 0
y(5-x) = 0

y cannot be zero as the constraint say that it is +ve.

So, x = 5

Nov 07 - DS Question of the day

If x and y are positive integers, what is the value of x?

1) When 9x is divided by 2y, the quotient is x, and the remainder is 5
2) When 5y is divided by x, the quotient is y, and the remainder is 0

In the second statement, can’t we just cancel y on both sides since its the same value?

Well, the trick here is realizing that it is a descending order AP with consecutive odd integers

Median of 2 odd integers = 30 => That number of terms is EVEN (because if it were odd, then median would have been the middle term and thus odd as well) = (29+31)/2

And initially you think that Since a5 = 33, so 31 = a4 and 29 = a3

Since median of even set of numbers = Average of (n/2) and (n/2 + 1)th terms, WHICH WOULD GIVE US n = 6, and a6 would be 35 BUT THERE IS NO OPTION LIKE THAT and most options are below 33

So that means that a5 = 33, and 31 = a6 and 29 = a7, So n = 12

Calculate a12 would give us 19

Answer: A

Since there is no constraint over the integers being distinct, we can safely assume that every integer up-to the median (16th term) = 31
So if range = 31 then highest number of set = 31+31 = 62

Nov 09 - Problem Solving Question of the Day

If the sum of all positive factors of an integer n is 2n, n is a perfect number. For example, the factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6, and from the sum 1+2+3+6=12=2*6, the sum of the factors of 6 becomes 12=2*6, thus 6 is the first perfect number. Then, what is the number of factors of the second perfect number?

A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 8
E. 12
