The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

We have : $30 = 2 \times 3 \times 5$.
So, $2$ can be assigned to either $a$ or $b$ or $c$
i.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 $3 \times 3 \times 3 = 27$.

Permutations

A permutation is an arrangement of multiple objects in a particular order taken a few or all at a time. The formula for permutation is as follows:

\(^nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\)

 nPr = permutation

 n = total number of objects

 r = number of objects selected

Types of Permutation

  • Permutation of n different things where repeating is not allowed
  • Permutation of n different things where repeating is allowed
  • Permutation of similar kinds or duplicate objects
