So, we are asked to find the number of primes between 7!+2 and 7!+10, inclusive.

From each number 7!+k were $$2\leq{k}\leq{10}$$ we can factor out k, thus there are no pries in the given range.

For example:
7!+2=2(3*4*5*6*7+1) --> a multiple of 2, thus not a prime;
7!+3=3(2*4*5*6*7+1) --> a multiple of 3, thus not a prime;
...
7!+10=10(3*4*6*7+1) --> a multiple of 10, thus not a prime.

Answer: A.

Hope it's clear.

7!+2=2(3*4*5*6*7+1)=not prime;
7!+2=3(2*4*5*6*7+1)=not prime;
.........................................
7!+10=10(3*4*6*7+1) = not prime.

megafan its a really nice question and a real 700 level question which tests one's aptitude of quant.

I just tried to calculate the value of 7! and then tried to find number which was surely a wrong approach.

Bunuel approach and solution is awesome, which added one more trick to my quant bucket.

7!+2 = 2(7*6*...*3)
7!+3 = 3(7*6..*4*2)
7!+4 = 4(7*6*5*3*2)
..
..
7!+10 = 10(7*6*4*3)

So, there are no prime numbers between $7 + 2 and$7 + 10, inclusive..

Answer A
