I get D.

The number of total possible values of X*Y = 4*4 = 16

The number of repetitions :

2,2|1,4 ---->2
1,16|4,4|2,8 ---->3
2,4|1,8|4,2 ----> 3

16 - (2+3+3) +3 (1 for each possibility of 4,16,8) = 16-8+3 = 8+3 = 11.

Hmm, I see my answer is different from Fig's.


:).... There is one more repeat of 32 to remove: 2*16 or 4*8 to be considered in your reasoning :)

The brute force approach seems the easiest here, just multiply all the combos out

and dont count the ones that are already included

C - 10
