\(xy= 222= 2\cdot 3 \cdot 37\)
1)\(x\) is a prime number.
The only possible is \(x=2\) and \(y=3\cdot 37\)
Sufficient \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)
2) \(y\) is a \(3\) digit number.
\(If y=111, x=2, xy=222\)
If \(y=102, x=\dfrac{222}{102}\) (The trick here is that it is not mentioned that x is INTEGER. one might think intuitively that x is integer because y is integer)
Insufficient \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)
Therefore, A
