Hi,
whenever you have doubt about the accuracy of a question, you should include the source of that question. (In fact, it's good habit to always include the source, regardless of doubts.)
We know that p and s are integers, so the possible values are:
3, 4
3, 5
4, 5
we want all possible values of m, so let's use the maximum range:
p = 3; s = 5
Accordingly, any number between 3 and 5 is a possible value for n.
Both (A) (root 17, which is a bit more than 4) and (E) (10/3 = 3.333) satisfy the question.
So, either you've misposted the question or it's just a bad question. Again, what's the source?
