N = 2
6 × 3
4 × 5
2Case: [A]
when none of the elements is 1 ⇒ the three factors must be some powers of 2, 3, 5 respectively.
⇒ total number of such sets = 6 × 4 × 2 = 48
Case: [B]
when one of the elements is 1
⇒ the other two factors could be of the form (2a), (3b) − number of sets = 6 × 4 = 24
(26), (52) − number of sets = 6 × 2 = 12
(34),(52) − number of sets = 4 × 2 = 8
(26 × 34 × 52) − number of sets = 6 × 4 × 2 = 48
(26 × 52 × 34) − number of sets = 6 × 2 × 4 = 48
(34 × 52 × 26) − number of sets = 4 × 2 × 6 = 48
∴ total number of such sets = 188
combining both the cases, total sets possible
= 188 + 48 = 236
