\(x = y(5)(6)(7)(8)\)
\(x = y(5)(2)(3)(7)(2)(2)(2) = y(2^4)(3)(5)(7)\)
Here, \(x\) would always be divisible by 12 and 15 irrspective of the value of \(y\)
Hence, option D

If y is 5, wouldn't x also be divisible by 25?
\(x = y(5)(6)(7)(8)\)
\(x = y(5)(2)(3)(7)(2)(2)(2) = y(2^4)(3)(5)(7)\)
Here, \(x\) would always be divisible by 12 and 15 irrspective of the value of \(y\)
Hence, option D
