The question clearly specifies "positive integers" and I completely overlooked this. Sorry guys.

Again, this is why it's so important to read the question! :)
Sometimes we get hurried and answer what we think the question is asking vs. what it actually is asking.

Answer is C.


yep, you are right. I too hurried over this one.

Yes, guys, it is C. As far as I remember, I invented this question to check how accurately we read question stems. As was demonstrated, answers can be worlds apart due to a couple of words.

(CLASSIFIED) when I have seen this Q just a minute ago, I have chosen E. :oops: :oops: :oops: Probably getting older... and more stupid
