Q177 / 270 · NDA 2019 (Phase 2) · Mathematics
If $n$ ! has 17 zeros, then what is the value of $n$ ?
- A95
- B85
- C80
- Correct answerDNo such value of $n$ exists
Solution
$\because$ number of zeroes $=$ Highest power of 5.
$\therefore$ by using options highest power in 95 is
$\left[\frac{95}{5}\right]+\left[\frac{95}{25}\right]+\left[\frac{95}{125}\right]=21$
highest power in 80 is
$\left[\frac{80}{5}\right]+\left[\frac{80}{25}\right]=19$
highest power in 85 is
$\left[\frac{85}{5}\right]+\left[\frac{85}{25}\right]=19$
$\therefore$ option (D) no such value of $n$ exists.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
