2023 AMC 12A Problem 23

By AM-GM, $1+2a\ge 2\sqrt{2a},$ $2+2b\ge 4\sqrt{b},$ and $2a+b\ge 2\sqrt{2ab}.$ Multiplying, $$\begin{gathered} (1+2a)(2+2b)(2a+b)\\ {}\ge 16\sqrt{2a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\cdot\sqrt{2ab}\\ {}=32ab. \end{gathered}$$ Equality requires $1=2a,$ $2=2b,$ and $2a=b$ simultaneously. These give $a=\tfrac12,$ $b=1,$ which are consistent, so there is exactly one solution. Thus, the correct answer is B.
