1. The greatest common factor of x and y is 10.
2. The least common multiple of x and y is 180
Product of two positive integers = (LCM of the integers)*(GCF of the integers)
Hence, we need both the statements to answer the question.

The correct answer is C.

Picking Numbers:
Statement 1: Consider the following two cases,
  • x = 10 and y = 20 ---> xy = 200
    x = 10 and y = 30 ---> xy = 300
Not sufficient

Statement 2: Consider the following two cases,
  • x = 4 and y = 45 ---> xy = 180
    x = 90 and y = 180 ---> xy = 90*1800
Not sufficient

1 & 2 Together: xy = 10*180 = 1800
Sufficient

The correct answer is C.
