Prime Numbers

If x > 1, what is the value ofinteger x?
(1) There are x unique factors of x.
(2) The sum of x and any prime number larger than x is odd.

OA is A, but i feel the answer should be D. Correct me if I am wrong.

Using [2] you can just find that x is even, it could be any even number.

So only [1] is sufficient.

I think you carried over data from [1] while reading [2].

A IMO

Ya. That was a mistake of carrying forward. Thanks.
