Let X and y be two different numbers selected from the 500 natural numbers from 1 to 500, then the maximum value of (x + y) / (X-Y) is () A. 1000B. 990C. 999D. 998

Let X and y be two different numbers selected from the 500 natural numbers from 1 to 500, then the maximum value of (x + y) / (X-Y) is () A. 1000B. 990C. 999D. 998

The maximum value of (x + y) is 500 + 499 = 999, and the minimum value of (X-Y) is 500-499 = 1, so the maximum value of (x + y) / (X-Y) is 999 / 1 = 999
