10000! = ( 100!) * ( 101 *

10000! = ( 100!) * ( 101 * 102 * .... 10000 ) which is said to be equivalent to ( 100!) K * P

So, K* P = 101 * 102 * ... 10000.... ( K & P are integers )

maximum value shd be anything.. per the choices it shd be 105 as thats the maximum among choices....

 

pls let me know if i m wrong.

maximun is maximum

 the maximum value of k will be(irrespective of the options given)
(10000!)/(101!)
but from the options it is  105 that is maximum(its the closest value to the actual maximum value)
