Correct answer: A
- Interpret the expressions
We have
First compute the small factorials:
so
Also,
so
We need to determine whether these are natural numbers.
- Check
Write
Among these factors, the number appears once. But to show divisibility by , it is enough to group six multiples of -factors from the product.
A cleaner way is to factor:
Now note that in , there are many factors of hidden in the product. Let us count prime powers.
Since
we need at least in .
Using Legendre's formula:
- Exponent of in :
- Exponent of in :
Thus contains at least
which certainly contains
Hence,
- Check
We have
Since
we need to check whether contains at least
Again use Legendre's formula.
- Exponent of in :
- Exponent of in :
- Exponent of in :
Thus contains at least
which certainly contains
Therefore,
- Evaluate the options
- A: and — True
- B: and — False
- C: and — False
- D: and — False
So the correct option is
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: A
Our derived answer: A
They match.
