It should be letter A.
Since two possibilities mean no bigger than two ( So B is wrong)

The question is not very clear. As I see it, a rectangular with dimensions 1*1*6 is different from a rectagunlar 6*1*1 and of a rectangular with dimensions 1*6*1. Therefore, the correct answer should be E.

How many rectangular solids with integer edges have a volume of 6 cubic inches ?

A > 1
B > 2
C > 3
D > 4
E > 6


Volume means product of three different dimensions =13
Now 6=1*1*6 and 6=1*2*3

So these are the only two sizes 1 by 1 by 6 and 1 by 2 by 3

B

Shouldn't the answer be A? The number of solids is exactly 2, and option B says >2? Kind of confused here :(

I agree with the part that there are two possibilities for such rectangular, one with edges ( 6,1,1 ), ( 3,2,1 ) but these edges are identified as 3 different categories length, width, then height. Thus we gotta arrange each of the two options in 3! ways. So, I answered E. Can anyone explain why is it wrong ? please

I think the answer should be E - 2 possibilities exists - 6*1*1 and 1*2*3. Which can be further rearranged to for multiple cuboids - 1*2*3/1*3*2/2*1*3/2*3*1 etc. So correct answer should be E

there are two rectangles(another way of looking is that it is cuboid) on which I agree but my problem is how is it less that 2 option correct answer should be less than 3
