MCQ
How many factors are $2^5\times 3^6 \times 5^2$ are perfect squares:
  • $24$
  • B
    $12$
  • C
    $16$
  • D
    $22$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$24$
Any factors of $2^5\times 3^6 \times 5^2$ which is a perfect square will be of the form $2^a \times 3^b \times 5^c$
where a can be $0$ or $2$ or $4,$
So there are $3$ ways.
$b$ can be $0$ or $2$ or $4$ or $6,$
So there are $4$ ways.
$a$ can be $0$ or $2,$
So there are $2$ ways.
So, the required number of factors $= 3 \times 4 \times 2 = 24$
