Question 25

Please read the following sentences carefully:
I — 103 and 7 are the only prime factors of 1000027
II — $$\sqrt[6]{6!}>\sqrt[7]{7!}$$
III — If I travel one half of my journey at an average speed of x km/h, it will be impossible for me to attain an average speed of 2x km/h for the entire journey.

Solution

Let us evaluate the statements one by one:
I: 103 and 7 are the only prime factors of 1000027
On successively dividing 1000027 by 103 and 7, we get 1387 as the answer. 
1387 is divisible by 19. 
Therefore, statement I is false. 
II: $$\sqrt[6]{6!}>\sqrt[7]{7!}$$
Raising the power to 42 on both sides, we get,
$$[6!]^7>[7!]^6$$
$$6!*[6!]^6 > 7^6*[6!]^6$$
$$7^6$$ is greater than $$6!$$.
Therefore, statement II is false. 
III:It has been given that the person travels one-half of the journey at x kmph. 
Let us assume the distance to be '2d'. 
Let us assume the average speed to be 2d and check for the feasibility.
Let the speed at which the person travels the other half of the journey be y.
d/x + d/y = 2d/2x
d/x + d/y = d/x
=> d/y = 0 or y tends to infinity.
Therefore, such a scenario is not possible and hence, statement III is true.
Only statement III is true. Therefore, option C is the right answer.
