We see that since is divisible by , must equal either or , but it cannot equal , so . We notice that since must be even, must be either or . However, when , we see that , which cannot happen because and are already used up; so . This gives , meaning . Now, we see that could be either or , but is not divisible by , but is. This means that and .
Final answer
A
