If a, b, and c are positive integers such that \(\frac{x}{2^a3^b5^c}\) is an integer, which of the following could be the value of x ?


A. 216

B. 225

C. 232

D. 240

E. 250

Key: "Could be" means we have to find possibility in one option because other 4 options will be IMPOSSIBLE values of x

\(\frac{x}{2^a3^b5^c}\) since a, b and c are Positive Integers so x must have atleast 1 power of 2, 3 and 5 all




A. \(216 = 6^3 = 2^3*3^3\) NOT Possible because 216 is not a multiple fo 5

B. \(225 = 15^2 = 3^2*5^2\) NOT Possible because 225 is not a multiple fo 2

C.\( 232 = 4*58 = 2^3*29\) NOT Possible because 232 is not a multiple fo 3 and 5

D. \(240 = 2^4*3*5\) POSSIBLE

E. 250 NOT Possible because 250 is not a multiple of 3

Answer: Option D

A number divisible by any positive power of both 2 and 5 must end with 0.

This eliminates option A, B and C.

250 is not divible by 3.

Correct answer is 240
Option D
