The total number of positive integral solutions $( x , y , z )$ such that $xyz =24$ is :
- 36
- 24
- 45
- 30
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
To find the total number of positive integral solutions for the equation \(xyz = 24\), we need to explore the factors of 24 with three positive integer variables.
First, perform the prime factorization of 24:
24 can be expressed as
\[2^3 \times 3^1\].
Now, we need to distribute these prime factors among \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\).
Using a stars and bars approach (distribution of indistinguishable objects into distinguishable boxes):
- Distribute \(2^3\): We distribute 3 objects (the three 2's) into 3 distinct boxes (x, y, and z):
The formula for this is \(\binom{n+k-1}{k-1}\), where n is the number of objects, and k is the number of boxes. For \(n = 3\) and \(k = 3\),
\(\binom{3+3-1}{3-1} = \binom{5}{2} = 10\).
- Distribute \(3^1\): We distribute 1 object (the one 3) into 3 distinct boxes:
\(\binom{1+3-1}{3-1} = \binom{3}{2} = 3\).
Thus, the total number of ways to assign these factors to x, y, z is the product of the outcomes of these distributions:
\(10 \times 3 = 30\).
Therefore, the total number of positive integral solutions for the equation \(xyz = 24\) is 30.

Concepts Used:
Permutations and Combinations
Permutation:
Permutation is the method or the act of arranging members of a set into an order or a sequence.
- In the process of rearranging the numbers, subsets of sets are created to determine all possible arrangement sequences of a single data point.
- A permutation is used in many events of daily life. It is used for a list of data where the data order matters.
Combination:
Combination is the method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter.
- Combination refers to the combination of about n things taken k at a time without any repetition.
- The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
