Solution: Express the given number \(a\cdot4^5\cdot6^3\cdot7\) in prime factors as \(a\cdot2^{10}\cdot2^3\cdot3^3\cdot7\)

For 11 to be the factor it should be contained in it. If we remove ‘a’ then we don’t have 11. Hence a = 11.

=> 7 is contained already and hence we need 1 more 7 so that \(7^2\) is the factor and hence 7 should also be in a.

Thus, smallest value of a = 7 * 11 = 77

Therefore, D is the correct answer.

Answer D
