If X is an integer and Y = 9x + 13, what is the greatest value of x for which Y is less than 100 ?

A    12

B    11

C    10

D    9 

Solution

Correct Answer: Option D

 We need to find out the maximum value of x for which (9x + 13) is less than 100  --> (9x + 13) < 100  --> 9x < (100 - 13) = 87  --> x < 87/9 = 9.(something)  As x is an integer, maximum possible value of x is 9.
