1. If M, N, P are three different prime integers and X, Y, Z are three positive integers, is (M)x (N)y (P)z > 100? From 1) ==> X, Y, Z are 1, 2, 2 =>Smallest (M)x (N)y (P)z = (2)x (3)y (5)z = (2)^2 (3)^ 2 (5)^1 =180 >100; or 1, 1, 3 ==>Smallest (M)x (N)y (P)z = (2)x (3)y (5)z = (2)^3 (3)^ 1 (5)^1 =120 >100; From 2) ==> M, N, P are 2, 3, 5
If X=Y=Z=1 => (M)x (N)y (P)z = (2)x (3)y (5)z = (2)^1 (3)^ 1 (5)^1 =30 <100 If X=Y=Z=10 => (M)x (N)y (P)z = (2)x (3)y (5)z >100 2. If K is the product of the first 30 positive integers and d is a positive integer, what is the value of d? (1) (10)d is a factor of K (2) d > 6 Since K= 30! , from (1) we know that d could equal to 1, 2, 3, or more. because K's factor includes at least 10, 20, 30. (2) alone just not eough; For (1)+(2) ==> 30! = X1*(5x10x15x20x25x30) =X2* (10^7)
note: we can borrow enough 2 from X1 to alter 5 to 10; 25 = 5x5 From (1)+ (2) ==>The smallest d is 7. ==> d=7 answer is C
