    It is desired to extract maximum power of 3 from 24! where n! = n.(n-1).(n-2)...3.2.1. What will be exponent of 3?

    Options:
    a) 8 b) 9 c) 11 d)10

    Since this is a math question, I'm moving this to proper section. Also updated the title to make it obvious to know what's the question about.

    The factors must be themselves multiples of 3. In this case these are: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 & 24.
    the powers of 3 in these are, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1 &1 respectively.
    The highest power of three that can be got by a product of these 8 factors is the sum of the 8 powers = 10.
