  • A
    30
  • Correct answer
    B
    27
  • C
    8
  • D
    None of these

Solution

We have : $30=2 \times 3 \times 5 .$ So, 2 can be assigned to either a or b or ci.e. 2 can be assigned in 3 ways. Similarly, each of 3 and 5 can be assigned in 3 ways. Thus, the number of solutions is $3 \times 3 \times 3=27$

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