Question

If \(x\) and \(y\) are two distinct positive integers and their product is \(54\), what is the value of \(x\)? Statements: (I) \(x\) is an odd integer. (II) \(x>y\)

• A. Statement (I) alone is sufficient to answer the question, but (II) alone is not sufficient.
• B. Statement (II) alone is sufficient to answer the question, but (I) alone is not sufficient.
• C. Both the statements (I) and (II) are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
• D. Both the statements (I) and (II) together are not sufficient to answer the question and additional data are required.

Hint:

In factor-based data sufficiency, list all factor pairs carefully and eliminate according to the given conditions.
