Suppose n is a positive integer such that the smallest whole number that is greater than or equal to \(\frac{n}{33}\) is 1 or 2. Which are possible values for the integer n ?

I. 15
II. 66
III. 70

A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II only
E. I, II, and III

But we are said it could be 1 or 2. Well, in that sense only option B makes sense because 66/33 will exactly give 2.

Rest all others will give the value less than 1 or more than 2. But we just need either 1 or 2 and that condition is satisfied only in 66.

And 15/33 is not even greater than 0.5 then how can we round it up to the nearest 1. How option D is correct?

Please help where I am going wrong

It is ‘ smallest whole number greater than or equal to n/33 is 1 or 2.
If it is 1, then n can be 1 to 33 as 0<n/33<=1
And if it is 2, then n can be 34 to 66 as 1<n/33<=2
