Q:

The product of three consecutive even numbers when divided by 8 is 720. The product of their square roots is :

A) 12 sqrt(10) B) 24 sqrt(10)
C) 120 D) none of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24 sqrt(10)

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x, x + 2 and X + 4.

Then, x(x + 2)(x +4) / 8 = 720 => x(x + 2)(x +4) = 5760.

√x  *  √(x + 2) * √(x +4) = √x(x +2)(x + 4 ) = √5760  =  24√10.
