Answer: Option 'D' is true.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of points are 7,5,3, and 2 each.

Product of the point values of the removed beads = 147000

So, the possible way is given by


2^3* 3* 5^3* 7^2=147000

Since no other beads is a multiple of 7.

So, there must be two red beads removed.

Hence, Option 'D' is true.
