RRB NTPC 2025 Under Graduate CBT 2 Question Paper PDF (17-Sep-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

26

Solution:

Factorise every base into primes:

\(5^8\) contributes eight 5s; \(6^7=(2\times3)^7=2^7\times3^7\) contributes seven 2s and seven 3s; \(11^4\) contributes four 11s.

The complete prime factorisation is:

\[ 2^7\times3^7\times5^8\times11^4 \]

The total number of prime factors (counted with multiplicity) is:

\[ 7+7+8+4=26 \]

Hence, the total number of prime factors is: 26
