21K is a multiple of 180

\(3 * 7 * K = 3 * 3 * 4 * 5 * x\)

\(7 * K = 60 * x\)

Hence \(K\) will be \(60\) and \(x\) will be \(7\)

Factors of \(60 = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 10 , 12 , 15 , 20 , 30 , 60\)

Unique prime factors = \(2 , 3 , 5\)

Given that The integer K is positive, but less than 400 and 21K is a multiple of 180. And we need to find how many unique prime factors does K have?

21K is a multiple of 180
=> 21K is divisible by 180
21K = 3*7*K and 180 = 3*60

So, for 21K to be divisible by 60
K should be divisible by 60

=> K is a multiple of 60 (=2^2 * 3 * 5)
Unique prime factors of K = 3

So, Answer will be C
Hope it helps!
