y is the number of even integers from 14 to 64, inclusive = (largest - smallest)/2 + 1 = (64 - 14)/2 + 1 = 26. (Check this: totally-basic-94862.html#p730075)

x = 14 + 16 + ... + 64 = (largest + smallest)/2 *(# of terms) = (14 + 64)/2*26 = 39*26.

GCD of 26 and 39*26 is 26.

Answer: C.

P.S. The wording of the question is not quite GMAT-like.

The number of even integers from 14 to 64, inclusive, is:

(64 - 14)/2 + 1 = 26 = y

The sum of these integers is:

(64 + 14)/2 * 26 = 39 * 26 = x

Thus, the GCF(x, y) is 26.

Answer: C
