The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the expression \( P = n(n^2 - 1)(n^2 - 4)(n^2 - 9) \ldots (n^2 - 100) \). ### Step 1: Rewrite the expression We can rewrite the expression \( P \) as: \[ P = n \cdot (n^2 - 1^2) \cdot (n^2 - 2^2) \cdots (n^2 - 10^2) \] This can be expressed using the difference of squares: \[ P = n \cdot (n - 1)(n + 1)(n - 2)(n + 2) \cdots (n - 10)(n + 10) \] ### Step 2: Identify the terms The terms in \( P \) consist of: - \( n \) - \( n - 1, n + 1, n - 2, n + 2, \ldots, n - 10, n + 10 \) This gives us a total of \( 11 \) terms from \( n - 10 \) to \( n + 10 \). ### Step 3: Count the total number of terms The total number of terms is \( 1 + 10 + 10 = 21 \) terms (1 from \( n \) and 10 from each side). ### Step 4: Determine divisibility by factorials The product of \( k \) consecutive integers is divisible by \( k! \). Therefore: - The product of the \( 11 \) terms \( n, n + 1, n + 2, \ldots, n + 10 \) is divisible by \( 11! \). - The product of the \( 10 \) terms \( n - 1, n - 2, \ldots, n - 10 \) is divisible by \( 10! \). Thus, we can conclude: \[ P \text{ is divisible by } 11! \cdot 10! \] ### Step 5: Analyze the options Now we will analyze the given options: - (a) \( 2!3!4!5!6! \) - This is not sufficient. - (b) \( (5!)^4 \) - This is also not sufficient. - (c) \( (10!)^2 \) - This is not sufficient. - (d) \( 10!11! \) - This matches our conclusion. ### Conclusion The correct answer is: \[ \text{(d) } 10!11! \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the expression \( P = n(n^2 - 1)(n^2 - 4)(n^2 - 9) \ldots (n^2 - 100) \). ### Step 1: Rewrite the expression We can rewrite the expression \( P \) as: \[ P = n \cdot (n^2 - 1^2) \cdot (n^2 - 2^2) \cdots (n^2 - 10^2) \] This can be expressed using the difference of squares: ...
