    (A) 14 (B) 3

    (C) 1 (D) 0

    Ans : (B)

    Hints : Starting from 5! all the other numbers are divisible by 15 since 15 will be a factor

    So 1! + 2! + 3! + 4! = 1 + 2 + 6 + 24 = 33

    = 1 cos2 P + cos2Q + cos2Q + cos2R + (cos(P+Q) + cos(P Q)) cosR

    now P + Q = R

    So = 1+ cos2P + cos2Q + cos2R cos2R cos(P Q) cos(P + Q)

    = 1 + cos2P + cos2Q cos2P + sin2Q

    = 1 + 1 = 0
