Integers having odd number of factors will be perfect squares. Odd numbers will have odd perfect squares. Thus, the possible values for the perfect squares are :

1,9,25,49,81,121,169 and the corresponding integers are 1,3,5,7,9,11,13 (more than 6). Thus E is the correct answer .

hello,
every number should have a correponding factor to any factor so normallyevery number should have even number of factors.
however this does not hold good for perfect squares because here we have one factor, which when squared gives us the number...
thus they will have pair of factors and one single factor, resulting in odd number of integers..
from 1 to 200 we look at perfect squares...
square of 14 =196 <200...
thus 14 such numbers, but we are looking at odd numbers so 14/2=7
ans E
editing the explanation after rereading the Q..

hi,
why arent you considering even squares like 4,36 etc..
4 has 1,2,4 as its factors

Because the question asks about "odd integers" and not even or all integers

Would've been a bigger trap if the last option would've mentioned a particular value rather >6
