x y 3 5 6 2 1/2 9 1 2/3 12 1 1/4 15 1 a)b) c) d) We try substituting x=3 and y=5 to see which ones give true results: a) That's false so we've ruled out b c) So c is true, so we haven't ruled out c yet d) That's false so we've ruled out d So the correct choice is either a or c: ------------------ Let's try the easiest values: We try substituting x=15 and y=1 to see which ones give true results: a) That's false so we've ruled out a. So the answer is c. Edwin
