Jamboree Question of the Day - Day 23, Dec 1st 2010

If 15 > p > 10 and 6 < q < 9 and p/q> x for all the values of p and q, what is the value of x ?

i) p, q are integers.
ii) X is a positive integer.

Solution (Posted on Dec 2nd):

B is the answer. Smallest value of p/q = 10/9 ~ 1. And since x < p/q for all values of p and q inthe range , x < 10/9 and since x is a positive integer, it must be 1.
