Problem 25

The number $a=\frac{p}{q}$ , where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers, has the property that the sum of all real numbers $x$ satisfying $\lfloor x \rfloor \cdot \{x\} = a \cdot x^2$ is $420$ , where $\lfloor x \rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$ and $\{x\}=x- \lfloor x \rfloor$ denotes the fractional part of $x$ . What is $p+q$ ?

$\textbf{(A) } 245 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 593 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 929 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 1331 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 1332$
