Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- Express 3240 as a factors of prime nos
3240 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 23 x 34 x 5
so these 3 nos of 2's can be distributed to 3 integres a,b,c in : [3+(3-1)]C (3-1) ways i.e 5C2 = 10 ways
Nos of ways in which 4 nos of 3's can be distributed to 3 integers : [4+(3-1)]C (3-1) ways i.e 6C2 = 15 ways
Nos of ways in which 1 nos of 5 can be distributed to 3 integers : [1+(3-1)]C (3-1) ways i.e 3C2 = 3 ways
So total ways = 10 x 15 x 3 = 450 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(13) No(0)
- add numbers 3+2+4+0=9 ; add in option 4+5+0=9 both have same divisiblity

- 450 2^3*3^4*5^1 n+r-1Cr-1 where r=3 and n=3,4,1 put and multiple all the value 10*15*3

- Pavithra Selvamani, Go through the question once again, In the question they asked all possible ways that we can write 3240 as a product of 3 positive integers. From that r=3. If he asked for 4 integers then it will be 4.
