    Question

    Which of these numbers has the most number of divisors?

    A.

    200

    B.

    240

    C.

    156

    D.

    172

    Correct option is B

    Option(a) 200:

    200=23×52200 = 2^3 \times5^2

    Number of divisors = (3+1)(2+1) = 12 

    Option(b) 240

    240=24×31×51240 = 2^4\times3^1\times5^1

    Numbers of divisors = (4+1)(1+1)(1+1)

                                  = 20 

    Option(c) 156

    156=22×31×131156 = 2^2\times3^1\times13^1​​

    Numbers of divisors = (2+1)(1+1)(1+1) 

                                    = 12 

    Option(d)172

    172=22×431172 = 2^2\times43^1

    Number of divisors = (2+1)(1+1)

                                  = 6 

    Hence, 240 has the most number of divisors. 

    option (b) is correct.
