Answer:
The correct option is B) 2.
Explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Blue, green, purple and red chips worth 1, 5, x and 11 points each, respectively.
The worth of purple chips is 5<x<11
The product of the point values of the selected chips is 88,000.
Calculate the prime factorization of 88,000.
88,000 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5 × 11
or 88,000 = 2⁶ × 5³ × 11
It means we have selected 3 chips of green and 1 chips of red. But there is no chip whose worth is 2. Also we know the value of x must be between 5 and 11.
2⁶ = 2³ × 2³ = 8 × 8
Hence, the value of purple chip is 8 and 2 purple chips is selected.
Therefore, the correct option is B) 2.
