Solution

The correct option is B 9
57=a22!=a33!=a44!=a55!=a66!=a77!

5=7a22!+7a33!+7a44!+7a55!+7a66!+a77!

5×6!=2520a2+840a3+210a4+42a5+7a6+a7
Therefore, 3600=2520a2+840a3+210a4+42a5+7a6+a7
Now ajI {from 2 to 7}
So above equation is true if
a2=a3=a4=1
a5=1
a6=4,a7=2
So the required sum, a2+a3+a4+a5+a6+a7=1+1+1+0+4+2=9
