If x and y are both odd prime numbers andx < y, then how many different positive integer factors does2xyhave? Pick: A) 3 B) 4 C) 6 D) 12 E) 8

Rationale: "x and y are both odd prime numbers - it means either x or y is not 2 and since prime numbers have only two factors - 1 and the number itself x and y each will have ( 1 + 1 ) = 2 factors hence 2 xy will have ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 + 1 ) = 8 factors e is the answer"
Answer: E
