I am preparing for PSM1 and  came across a question 

We have a product divided into five projects, and we have five Product Owners, two Scrum Masters and three Development Teams... ¿Is it possible?  Answer was given as "YES".

Even product is divided into five products,  I believe we should maintain one product backlog and a product owner.  above says FIVE product owners..  so answer should be "NO".  Is there any concept behind to say "YES"?

We have a product divided into five projects

If a product is divided into five projects, the answer would be no, as there is only one product and there must therefore be only one Product Owner.

Even product is divided into five products

If the product was divided into five products, then the answer would be yes. Each constituent product could then be represented by a separate Product Owner.
