The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of prime numbers among the numbers \( 105! + 2, 105! + 3, \ldots, 105! + 105 \), we can analyze each term in the sequence. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Factorials**: The expression \( 105! \) (105 factorial) is the product of all positive integers from 1 to 105. Therefore, \( 105! \) is divisible by every integer from 1 to 105. 2. **Analyzing Each Term**: We will analyze each term \( 105! + k \) where \( k \) ranges from 2 to 105. 3. **Checking \( 105! + 2 \)**: - \( 105! \) is divisible by 2 (since it includes the factor 2). - Therefore, \( 105! + 2 \) is also even and greater than 2, which means it cannot be prime. 4. **Checking \( 105! + 3 \)**: - \( 105! \) is divisible by 3 (since it includes the factor 3). - Thus, \( 105! + 3 \) is also divisible by 3 and greater than 3, so it cannot be prime. 5. **Continuing the Pattern**: - This reasoning can be applied to all integers \( k \) from 2 to 105. - For any \( k \) in this range, \( 105! + k \) will be divisible by \( k \) since \( 105! \) contains \( k \) as a factor. 6. **Final Analysis**: - Since every term \( 105! + k \) (for \( k = 2, 3, \ldots, 105 \)) is divisible by \( k \) and greater than \( k \), none of these terms can be prime. 7. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the number of prime numbers among the numbers \( 105! + 2, 105! + 3, \ldots, 105! + 105 \) is **0**. ### Answer: The correct option is (d) None of these.
