1- x<15, there are 6 prime numbers under 16 (2,3,5,7,11,13) Not sufficient
2- (x-2) multiple of 5 true for 7 and for 17, so not sufficient.

only prime number under 15 for wich x-2 is a multiple of 5 is 7.
C is the answer

Kaplan claims that 0 is a multiple of 5, so the answers are 2 or 7.

Thank you so much for the details.

So.....in actual GMAT math rule, zero should also be considered a multiple of every integer? (hope Kaplan and GMAT rules are the same!) :)

GMAT ignores controversal issues (many people, including me, don't agree that 0 is a multiple of every number), so this type of question wouldn't likely be found on the GMAT. That's the problem I have with Kaplan; they try to use these little "tricks", which aren't at all realistic, to fool test takers.

Okay - so in GMAT, the answer would be C instead of E... Thank you!

No... I didn't say that. I said that this question wouldn't be found on the GMAT because many people disagree over the number properties of 0. It'd be incorrect for me to claim that GMAC agrees with my personal viewpoints over Kaplan's. 8)
