Q42 / 75 · JEE Main 2025 (2 Apr Shift 1) · Mathematics

The largest $\mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{N}$ such that $3^{\mathrm{n}}$ divides 50 ! is:

  • A
    21
  • Correct answer
    B
    22
  • C
    20
  • D
    23

Solution

$2^\alpha \cdot 3^\beta \cdot 5^\gamma$
$\mathrm{B}=\left[\frac{50}{3}\right]+\left[\frac{50}{3^2}\right]+\left[\frac{50}{3^3}\right]+\left[\frac{50}{3^4}\right]$
$=16+5+1$
$=2$
Maximum value of $n$ is 22

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
