How many odd integers from 1 to 200 (both inclusive) have odd number of factors?

A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) 6
E) Greater than 6

Answer: Option E

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 .

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
