Solution

The correct option is D 9
Given 1!+2!+3!+4!+.........+100!
From 4! onwards, every factorial expansion has 4×3 in itself which will be divisible by 12.
Hence , in the above sum every thing in 4!+5!+6!.......+100! will be divisible by 12
The sum before 4! i.e 1!+2!+3! will be the remainder .
Hence the remainder when 1!+2!+3!+4!+.........+100! is divisible by 12 will be 1!+2!+3!=9
