    The number of divisors of \[3\times {{7}^{3}},7\times {{11}^{2}}\]and  \[2\times 61\]are in:

    A)  AP                        

    B)         GP                        

    C)  HP                        

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key-Idea:  If a, b and c are the prime numbers, then the divisors of\[{{a}^{{{n}_{1}}}}{{b}^{{{n}_{1}}}}{{c}^{{{n}_{3}}}}\]is \[({{n}_{1}}+1)({{n}_{2}}+1)({{n}_{3}}+1)\] The number of divisors of \[3\times {{7}^{3}}=8,\] the number of divisors of \[7\times {{11}^{2}}=6\]and the number of divisors of \[2\times 61=4\] \[\Rightarrow 8,6,4\]are in AP with common difference \[-2.\]
