  • Question
  • x and y are integers x + y < 11 , and x > 6 What is the smallest possible value of x - y ?


  • Options
  • A. 1
  • B. 24
  • C. 4
  • D. -2

  • Correct Answer


  • Explanation

    The smallest value will be obtained by giving x the smallest possible value while y gets the largest possible value. The smallest value for x = 7. This means that y will have to be less than or equal to 3 (so that x + y <11), but we want the largest value of y which is 3.

    The difference, x - y will be 4.
