even factor = 2 * 4 * 6 = 48 (we need to exclude 2^0 here)
Odd factor = 6 * 4 = 24 (Exclude all 2's factor here )

total no. of factors for the above set will be = 3 * 4 * 6 = 72
and (total odd factors ) + ( total even factors ) = 72

only option C has the sum of 72, hence answer C.

sobby can please explain your approach that you used to determine odd and even factors independently.

hi..

$$N = 2^2 * 3^3 * 5^5$$

ODD factors when there ar eno 2s in it..
so $$3^3*5^5$$.... factors = (3+1)(5+1)=4*6=24

even factors = total factor - odd factors...
total = 3*4*6=72
so even factor = 72-24=48

so 24,48

C
