total no in A = 5 which is multiplied once by 5 different no in B which are also 5
1*5 * 5 = 25
IMO E

The question is "How many different products…"
Some products are twice, so the answer can't be [E].

2*6=12 and 3*4=12
2*10=20 and 5*4= 20
3*10=30 and 5*6= 30 etc.

as per your logic the answer option would be an odd integer value ; since max total values can 25 'odd' and if we remove overlapping pairs 'even' we would end up getting odd-even = odd integer
from given answer choices 5,15,25
25 is the max no of product pairs which can be formed
15 would come if we have exactly 5 pairs of overlapping/similar values total overlapping values are coming as '6' i.e " 12,20,30" ;
so the best option here is 25 only...
had 19 been given as answer option ; then it would have been correct... :)

I know :D
My answer would have been 22, since you can keep 12,20 and 30.
But since this is not an option, I've got a problem here :D

answer cannot be an even integer ;
if 12,20,30 are overlapping in pairs so it would be 6 digits total and answer would be 25-6 = 19

I understand what you want to say, but I thought I could keep at least one time 12,20,30 because they are different from the other 19 products. So the answer would be 22.
But since neither 19 nor 22 is an answer choice here, I might just think to complicated and the correct answer is in fact [E) :)

2 (1, 4, 6, 8, 10) = 2, 8, 12, 16, 20
3 (1, 4, 6, 8, 10) = 3, 12, 18, 24, 30
5 (1, 4, 6, 8, 10) = 5, 20, 30, 40, 50
7 (1, 4, 6, 8, 10) = 7, 28, 42, 56, 70
9 (1, 4, 6, 8, 10) = 9, 36, 54, 72, 90

5+4+3+5+5=22

Bunuel, please clarify
