Q:

x = y - (50/y), where x and y are both > 0 

If the value of y is doubled in the equation above, the value of x will

A) decrease B) stay the same
C) increase four fold D) increase to more than double

Answer:   D) increase to more than double



Explanation:

The best approach is to pick a number that satisfies the rules that x and y are greater than 0. So for example you could choose 25 for y.

The value of x before doubling is then 25 - 50/25 = 23

The value after doubling y will be 50 - 50/50 = 49, which is more than double.
