    The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 ..., 1000 are multiplied together. The number of zeros at the end (on the right) of the product must be

    A) 30

    B)  200

    C)  211

    D)  249

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Zeros are obtained if there is any zero at the end of any multiplicand and if 5 or multiple of 5 are multiplied by any even number, i.e.,\[{{(5)}^{n}}{{(2)}^{m}}\] has n zeros if n < m or m zeros if m < n Now, we obtain the index of 5 as follows Index \[=\left[ \frac{1000}{5} \right]+\left[ \frac{1000}{{{5}^{2}}} \right]+\left[ \frac{1000}{{{5}^{3}}} \right]+\left[ \frac{1000}{{{5}^{4}}} \right]\] \[=200+40+8+1=249\] Certainly n will be less than m. \[\therefore \]      Number of zeros = 249
