OPtion

1) 750
2) 800
3) 640
4) 960
5) 580
6) 150
7) 125
8) 648
9) 240
10) None of these

Solution

42996970800 = 53^1 * 73^1 * 7^3 * 5^2 * 2^4 * 3^4

Any factor of this number should be of the form 53^a * 73^b * 7^c * 5^d * 2^e * 3^f.

For the factor to be an even number e should be non zero.

a can take values 0, 1
b can take values 0, 1
c can take values 0, 1, 2, 3
d can take values 0, 1, 2
e can take values 1, 2, 3, 4
and f can take values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Total number of odd factors = 2*2*4*3*4*5 = 960

42996970800=2^4*3^4*5^2*7^3*53*73
Total factors=(4+1)(4+1)(2+1)(3+1)(1+1)(1+1)=1200
Odd factors=5*3*4*2*2=240
Even factors=1200-240=960
