Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT Question from Number Theory - Digits: Product of digits of a number is k, find all possible numbers that could result in this.

Two digit numbers; The two digits can be 4 and 7: Two possibilities 47 and 74.
Three-digit numbers: The three digits can be 1, 4 and 7: 3! Or 6 possibilities.
We cannot have three digits as (2, 2, 7) as the digits have to be distinct.
We cannot have numbers with 4 digits or more without repeating the digits.
So, there are totally 8 numbers.

The question is "How many numbers with distinct digits are possible product of whose digits is 28?"

Hence the answer is "8"

Choice C is the correct answer.
