OPtion

1) 288
2) 360
3) 120
4) 144
5) 150
6) 160
7) 180
8) 240
9) 125
10) None of these

Solution

7721290962 = 31^3 * 17^1 * 11^2 * 7^1 * 3^2 * 2^1

Any factor of this number should be of the form 31^a * 17^b * 11^c * 7^d * 3^e * 2^f

For the factors of this number to be an odd number f should be 0

a can take values 0, 1, 2, 3
b can take values 0, 1
c can take values 0, 1, 2
d can take values 0, 1
e can take values 0, 1, 2
and f can take values 0

Total number of odd factors = 4*2*3*2*3*1= 144

7721290962=2*3^2*7*11^2*17*31^3=2^a*3*^b*7^c*11^d*17^e*31^f
For odd number factors
a=0,b=0,1,2,c=0,1,d=0,1,2,e=0,1,f=0,1,2,3
Number of factors =1*3*2*3*2*4=144
Right option is 4👈
