29 cannot be a factor of 20!

85 is a factor since 5*17 = 85 and 5 and 17 are factors of 20!

121 = 11*11

hence cannot be a factor of 20!

Answer = E

Which of the following is NOT a factor of 20!?

I. 29
II. 85
III. 121

A. I only
B. II only
C. III only
D. I and II
E. I and III

E is answer...
29 --- prime number , so it won't be divisible ..
85 --17 * 5 -- both are part of 20! --so yes
121 -- 11 * 11 -- only one 11 is possible in 20!--No

E. I and III

Since 20! does not contain a prime factor of 29, 29 is not a factor of 20!

Since 85 = 17 x 5, and 20! contains both prime factors of 17 and 5, 85 is a factor of 20!.

Since 121 = 11^2, and 20! does not have 2 prime factors of 11, 121 is not a factor 20!.

Answer: E
