if x ^ 2 is divisible by 240 what is the least possible value of integer x ?
240 can be written as ( 2 ^ 4 ) * 3 * 5 . for x ^ 2 to be divisible by 240 it should contain at least 2 ^ 4 and 3 and 5 in its factors . we can leave out option e because 12 doesnt have 5 as one of its factor . now if we check for option b , 30 can be written as 2 * 3 * 5 , hence 30 ^ 2 will have 2 as the maximum power of 2 , so we can leave out this option too . option d is the right answer if we follow the same method as we followed for other two previous options . 60 = ( 2 ^ 2 ) * 3 * 5 ; 60 ^ 2 = ( 2 ^ 4 ) * ( 3 ^ 2 ) * ( 5 ^ 2 ) . so it shows that 60 ^ 2 is divisible by 240 and hence the answer . answer : d
