For a three-digit number xyz, where x, y, and z are the digits of the number, the function f(xyz) = 5^x2^y3^z. If f(abc) = 3 * f(def), what is the value of abc - def?

(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 9
(E) 27


Ans : A

Ans : A
f(xyz) = 5^x*2^y*3^z
f(abc) =(5^a*2^b*3^c) = 3*(5^d*2^e*3^f)

=>(5^a*2^b*3^c) = (5^d*2^e*3^f+1)
a=d; b=e; c=f+1
[spoiler]
Now it is evident that abc-def = 1[/spoiler]

[abhi332, Please post the powers as powers! 5x2y3z and 5^x*2^y*3^z are slightly different, and why is it in the DS forum?]
