Question

Khushali selects three different numbers from the set

{7, 5, 3, 1, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8}. She then finds the product of the three chosen numbers. What is the largest product that Khushali can make?
A) 168
B) 120
C) 56
D) 72

Answer 1

The largest product made from three different numbers from the set is 336, obtained by multiplying 8, 7, and 6. Since this product is not listed in the provided options, there may be an error in the question or choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest product that Khushali can make by selecting three different numbers from the set {7, 5, 3, 1, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8} is achieved by multiplying the three largest numbers in the set because the larger the numbers, the larger the product will be. So, the numbers to choose for the largest product are 8, 7, and 6. Multiplying these three numbers together we get:

8 × 7 × 6 = 336

However, since this option is not provided in the choices (A) 168, (B) 120, (C) 56, (D) 72, this suggests there may be a mistake in the question or in the provided choices. Therefore, an additional check and clarifications are necessary before providing a definitive answer to Khushali.
