An even divided by an odd can never yield an odd quotient. This means the prime number x must be even (because otherwise you’d have 202/odd, which wouldn’t yield an odd quotient). The only even prime number is 2, so x = 2. Similarly, an odd times an odd will always be odd, so y must be even. The only prime even number is 2, so y = 2.
QA = 202/x=odd So 202/2=101 x=2
QB = 411*y= even So 411*2=822 y=2
Both quantities are equal
