n*2^7*3^2*7^3 should be divisible by 5^2 and3^3.

Then the minimun value of n is 5^2*3=75.

Please comment,

OA:

Write down n x (2^5) x (6^2) x (7^3) as
= n x (2^5) x (3^2) x (2^2) x (7^3),
= n x (2^7) x (3^2) x (7^3)

now at a minimum 5^2 and a 3 is missing from this to make it completely divisible by 5^2 x 3^3

Hence answer = 5^2 x 3 = 75
