The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the conditions given for the numbers \( p \) and \( q \) and then evaluate the expressions provided to determine which one results in an integer. ### Step 1: Understand the conditions for \( p \) and \( q \) - \( p \) is divisible by 7 but not by 2. This means \( p \) can be expressed as: \[ p = 7k \quad \text{(where \( k \) is an odd integer)} \] - \( q \) is divisible by 6 but not by 5. This means \( q \) can be expressed as: \[ q = 6m \quad \text{(where \( m \) is any integer that does not make \( q \) a multiple of 5)} \] ### Step 2: Evaluate the expressions We need to evaluate the following expressions to see which one is guaranteed to be an integer: 1. **Expression A:** \[ \frac{6p + 7q}{42} \] 2. **Expression B:** \[ \frac{5p + 6q}{35} \] 3. **Expression C:** \[ \frac{7p + 6q}{42} \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( p \) and \( q \) into the expressions #### For Expression A: \[ 6p + 7q = 6(7k) + 7(6m) = 42k + 42m = 42(k + m) \] Thus, \[ \frac{6p + 7q}{42} = \frac{42(k + m)}{42} = k + m \] This is an integer. #### For Expression B: \[ 5p + 6q = 5(7k) + 6(6m) = 35k + 36m \] Thus, \[ \frac{5p + 6q}{35} = \frac{35k + 36m}{35} = k + \frac{36m}{35} \] This is not necessarily an integer since \( \frac{36m}{35} \) may not be an integer. #### For Expression C: \[ 7p + 6q = 7(7k) + 6(6m) = 49k + 36m \] Thus, \[ \frac{7p + 6q}{42} = \frac{49k + 36m}{42} \] This is not guaranteed to be an integer since \( \frac{49k + 36m}{42} \) may not simplify to an integer. ### Conclusion The only expression that is guaranteed to be an integer is: \[ \frac{6p + 7q}{42} \] ### Final Answer The expression which necessarily be an integer is: \[ \frac{6p + 7q}{42} \]
