Solution

The least perfect square divisible by 8, 9 and 10 is found by:

  1. Prime factorizing the numbers:

    • 8 = 2^3
    • 9 = 3^2
    • 10 = 2*5
  2. Taking the highest power of each prime from the factorizations:

    • For 2, the highest power is 3 (from 8)
    • For 3, the highest power is 2 (from 9)
    • For 5, the highest power is 1 (from 10)
  3. Multiplying these together gives the least common multiple (LCM):

    • LCM = 2^3 * 3^2 * 5 = 360
  4. But we need the least perfect square, so each power in the prime factorization should be even. Currently, the power of 5 is odd. To make it even, we multiply by another 5, giving:

    • LCM = 2^3 * 3^2 * 5^2 = 3600

So, the least perfect square divisible by 8, 9 and 10 is 3600. Therefore, the answer is C] 3600.
