Question

Let 2a 3b 5c = 1200 where a, b, c are integers. Then a + 2b + 3c is

A.

7

B.

8

C.

11

D.

12

Correct option is D

Given:

2a × 3b × 5c = 1200
Solution:

Factorize 1200: 1200 = 2⁴ × 3¹ × 5²

Now compare the exponents of prime factors with the given equation: a = 4, b = 1, c = 2

Formula to find: a + 2b + 3c

Substitute the values: a + 2b + 3c = 4 + 2(1) + 3(2) = 4 + 2 + 6 = 12

Thus, the answer is 12.
