If 1/3+1/6+1/9=22/x, which of the following must be an integer?

Solving this further,
x = 36
Only 36/12 = 3
Only x/12 is integer.

IMO B

Both PS butlers of today are fairly easy

Solve the fraction, and you get x = 36
Substitute that for each of I, II, III and find out that only II is an integer

Therefore, correct option is B

II. \(\frac{x}{24}\)

(A) I only
(B) II only

We have:
\(\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{9}=\frac{22}{x}\)
<=> \(\frac{11}{18}=\frac{22}{x}\)
<=> x= 36
I. \(\frac{x}{8} = 4.5\)
II. \(\frac{x}{12} = 3\) ==> integer
III. \(\frac{x}{24} = 1.5\)

IMO: B

Correct option B
from equation : value of x = 36
1. 36/8 = 4.5
2. 36/12 = 3 ----- Integer
3. 36/24 = 1.5
