What is the smallest number that makes the sentence true?

if i multiply together any ____ whole numbers, each greater than 1, but not necessarily different, the product always exceeds 2000

(A) 6 (C) 11
(B) 7 (D) 12

Answer 1

hmmmmmmm
find the smallest value
the smallest whole numbers greater than 1 that aren't differnt is 2

so

if they are the same becausewe are allowed to do that
test each

A.
2⁶=64
nope

B.
2⁷=128
nope

C.
2¹¹=2048
yep
exceeds 2000
answer is C

Answer 2

none of the given answers could be right...

The next biggest number up from 1 would be 2, and multiplying anything under 1000 by 2 would not exceed 2000.

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but this doesn't make sense to me...
