2 2s can occupy = 3C1*3C1 =9 positions
2 3s can occupy = 3C1*3C1 =9 positions
3 5s can occupy = 3C1*3C1*3C1 =27 positions
 
total number of solution= 9*9*27

hello vikrant are u sure this is the ans well i think!
as 2 3 5 are prime no's therefore u can use the simple formula which states that
 
no of factors or integral soln.(if unknown like u asked) of any no. is given by
(p+1)(q+1)(r+1).........where p q r are coffecients raise to the power of prime no.
for eg
2^2.3^2.5^3= (2+1)(2+1)(3+1)
                = 3.3.4
                =36
therefore 36 no. of inegral soln. are there .
just tell me the ans konichiwa2x

no I dont think what you say is right. That only gives you the number of factors.  number of factors and solutions are not the same. i think vikrant is correct.

actually, now I feel what vikrant said is wrong.
if you were to have: where the p's are prime, then

each of the 's could be "distributed" among the k factors in (ie,mj+k-1 C k-1 ) ways.

Thus the answer to problem is :

exactly

The Scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, & he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, life would not be worth living. Ofcourse I do not here speak of that beauty that strikes the senses, the beauty of qualities & appearances; not that I undervalue such beauty, far from it, but it has nothing to do with science; I mean that profounder beauty which comes from the harmoniuos order of the parts, & which a pure intelligence can grasp.
