Solution

The correct option is A. 1

Since, S is set of all the prime numbers from 2 to 100), we have,

S=2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97

Now, we know that the 2 is the only even prime number and 5 is the only prime number of the multiples of 5.

Also, we know that to have n number of 0 at the end of the number, the number should have factors in the form of 2n×5n.

Since, in the set S, only one pair of such exists ie 21×51,
therefore, number of 0 at the end of desired product will be 1.
