If x is an integer, is y an integer?

(1) The average (arithmetic mean) of x, y, and y - 2 is x.

(2) The average (arithmetic mean) of x and y is not an integer.


Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.

EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.

Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.

考题讲解

题目分析:

(1)    x、y、y-2的平均值为x,即(x+y+y-2)/3=x,解得y=x+1,因为x为整数,所以y必然为整数,题目得解。

(2)    x和y的平均值不是整数且x为整数。例如x=1,y=2满足条件,此时y为整数。又如x=1,y=1.5,x和y的平均值为1.25,满足条件,此时y不是整数,所以条件2无法判断y是否为整数。

因此,本题答案为(A),仅条件1可以解题,条件2不行。
