A marching band of 240 musicians are to march in a rectangular formation with s rows of exactly t musicians each. There can be no less than 8 musicians per row and no more than 30 musicians per row. How many different rectangular formations are possible?

A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
E. 8


Are You Up For the Challenge: 700 Level Questions


We need to find all the factors of 240 between 8 and 30, inclusive. Since they can be 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, and 30, there are 8 such factors, and hence 8 different rectangular formations are possible.

Answer: E

E. 8

8 ≤ columns must be ≤ 30
musicians = 240
f(240)=24*10=3*8*2*5=2^4*3*5
8≤factors of 240≤30 are:
two's: 8,16
two's and three's: 12,24
two's and five's: 10,20
two's three's and five's: 30
three's and five's: 15

total: 8
