x/y = z + p/q, where x, y, z, p and q are non-negative integers, then what conclusion can be drawn out of the given options

OPtion

1) y and q will be equal
2) x and p will be equal
3) y and z will be equal
4) x and q will be equal
5) x will be less than y
6) p will be less than q
7) y and q may be equal
8) x and z can't be equal
9) Data are insufficient
10)None of these

Solution

Since all are integers (equal or different) so many possibilities can arise
only 7th option will be a right choice.
Example
14/12 = 1 + 2/12 (i)
14/12 = 1 + 1/6 (ii)

In first equation y = q, in second equation y not= q

Option 7)

Correct Option: 7 Best Solution (14)

Example
14/12 = 1 + 2/12 (i)
14/12 = 1 + 1/6 (ii)

In first equal y = q, in second equation y not= q
SO ANS IS 7

for
z=0
and
x=p
so
y=q

if z=0,
p=x
and y=q because here condition is may be

qx=zqy+py,

by analysing with the given choices except 7 remaining may or may not be equal whereas coming to the choice 7 it defines with the equation.so that answer is 7

here x,y,z,p,z>=0
but y & q naver will be 0 so y&q>0
hance y&q may be equal
let us take x=0,z=0,p=0 we get equation is balanced

it's obvious that y and q may be equal and still we can get the correct solution set.

for the two parts to be equal ,there is a need for denominator to be equal.

X/Y=(ZQ+P)/Q
IF Y=Q,Then
suppose
Y=1
then X=Z+P
so it's value totaly depend on Z+P
not on Y and Q.
