    Raman Sir
    I included 40 as well.
    My approach was that there are no. Integral solutions when there is a common factor between coefficient of x and y. So for N<=40
    Common factors are multiples of 2
    So 2,4,…40
    So 20 possible values of N for which there is no integral solutions.
