Question

Number of prime factors in  `(216)^(3/5) xx (2500)^(2/5) xx (300)^(1/5)`  is  :


Options:
A .  6
B .  7
C .  8
D .  None of these
Answer: Option B

`(216)^(3/5) xx (2500)^(2/5) xx (300)^(1/5)`  = `(3^3 xx 2^3)^(3/5)  xx (5^4 xx 2^2)^(2/5) xx (5^2 xx 2^2  xx3)^(1/5)`

=`3^((3xx3/5)) xx 2^((3xx3/5)) xx 5^((4xx2/5)) xx 2^ ((2xx2/5)) xx 5^((2xx1/5)) xx 2^((2xx1/5)) xx 3^(1/5)`

=`3^(9/5) xx 2^(9/5) xx5^(8/5) xx 2^(4/5) xx 5^(2/5) xx 2^(2/5) xx 3^(1/5)`

=`3^((9/5 + 1/5)) xx 2^((9/5 + 4/5 + 2/5)) xx 5^((8/5 + 2/5))`

=`3^2 xx 2^3 xx 5^2`.          

Hence, the number of prime factors = (2 + 3 + 2 ) = 7.
