(A)

163

(B)

164

(C)

165

(D)

166



Answer: (C)

Explanation:

Prime Factor of 45= 32x5 
We will count the number of 3^2 and 5 in 671!, and which one is lesser in number would be the answer. 
No of 3’s= 671/3 + 671/9 + 671/27 + 671/81 + 671/243 
= 223 + 74 + 24 + 8 + 2 
= 331 
No of 32= 331/2 = 165 
No of 5= 671/5 + 671/25 + 671/125 + 671/625 
= 134 + 26 + 5 + 1 = 166 
165 will be the answer because 32 is lower in number than 5.
