Solution : $847 × 385 × 675 × 3025 = 3^\text{a} × 5^\text{b} × 7^\text{c} × 11^\text{d}$ We can write the above numbers as $847 = 11 × 11 × 7 = 11^2 × 7^1$ $385 = 5^1 × 7^1 × 11^1$ $675 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 = 3^3 × 5^2$ $3025 = 5 × 5 × 11 × 11 = 5^2 × 11^2$ Now, we have $847 × 385 × 675 × 3025 = 3^\text{a} × 5^\text{b} × 7^\text{c} × 11^\text{d}$ $⇒11^2 × 7^1 × 5^1 × 7^1 × 11^1 × 3^3 × 5^2 × 5^2 × 11^2 = 3^\text{a} × 5^\text{b} × 7^\text{c} × 11^\text{d}$ $⇒3^3 × 5^5 × 7^2 × 11^5= 3^\text{a} × 5^\text{b} × 7^\text{c} × 11^\text{d}$ On comparing we get $\text{a} = 3, \text{b} = 5, \text{c} = 2$ and $\text{d} = 5$ Now, $\text{ab} - \text{cd} = (3 × 5 - 2 × 5) = (15 - 10) = 5$ Hence, the correct answer is 5.
