If x = 3y, where y is a prime number greater than 2 how many positive even divisors does x have including x ?
A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 3
E. Cannot be determined from information above
[spoiler]OA: A. Source: Veritas Prep. I have a doubt here, From the info we know that x will be an odd number. I have only one thing to confirm here, zero cannot be a factor here right? This is because a number P will be a factor of Q only if Q/P is an integer. Since Q/0 is undefined we can say that 0 is not a factor of P. Hence 0 cannot be a factor of any number by this logic.
