We can try as follows:

\(x=67\)
\(y=p8\)
Multiplying them, we have \((10p+8)\cdot 67 \Rightarrow 670p+536\)


Now, checking values
\(p=3 \Rightarrow\) Tens digit of the result \(=4 \Large{\color{red}\chi}\)

\(p=4 \Rightarrow\) Tens digit of the result \(=1 \Large{\color{red}\chi}\)

\(p=5 \Rightarrow\) Tens digit of the result \(=8 \Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)

Therefore, C

Solution:

We see that a possible value of integer x is 67. If we let the tens digit of y be t, then 10t + 8 is one of the possible value of y, and the product of xy is:

67(10t + 8) = 670t + 536 = 600t + 70t + 500 + 30 + 6 = 100(6t + 5) + 10(7t + 3) + 6

The tens digit of xy is the units digit of the value 7t + 3 and it should be 8. Now let’s check the given answer choices:

A) 7(3) + 3 = 24 → The units digit is not 8.

B) 7(4) + 3 = 31 → The units digit is not 8.

C) 7(5) + 3 = 38 → The units digit IS 8.
