How did you get B?

1) gives you 1<n<25 and 2) gives you 10<n<24. Both statements have many possibilities

The question stem says the sqrt(n) is a positive integer. So, n has to be a perfect square. The only perfect square that lies in the range 10<n<25 is 16.

Agree with B, but isn't it a nonsence to say that sqrt(n) is positive? :-D
