None

(A) None

(B) One

(C) Two

(D) Three

(E) Four

What the problem says is that P(m)=m!
Now the factorial of any number greater than 1 is ALWAYS even.

P(9)=9! and we need to find how many primes are there betn 9!+2 and 9!+8
Lets list all the numbers


9!+2
9!+3
9!+4
9!+5
9!+6
9!+7
9!+8

In the above list, the highlighted ones are all even as they are the sum of two even numbers. And we know that Even ± Even = Even

So, we have left
9!+3
9!+5
9!+7

Now, remember that when two multiples of a certain number are added/subtracted the resultant number is also a multiple of the same number.

9! is a multiple of 3 so when added with 3 the sum is going to be a multiple of 3.
9! is a multiple of seven as 9!=9*8*7.... And when added to 7 the sum is going to be a multiple of 7
9! is a multiple of 5 as 9!=9*8*7*6*5.... And when added to 5 the sum is going to be a multiple of 5

Seeing that all of the seven numbers are composite multiples of some number, none of them are prime.
Hence A
