In 1), I came to eqn 9x=2xy+5
In 2), I came to eqn 5y=xy

My logic is that both give constant value of x viz 5

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

So, x = 5

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

Source: eGMAT | Difficulty : Hard

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

Source: Expert’s Global | Difficulty: Medium

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
