Step-by-Step Verified Solution
y + z = 5 ....... (1)
yz = 6
Also, (y z)2 = (y + z)2 4yz
(y z)2 = (y + z)2 4yz
(y z)2 = 25 4(6) = 1
y z = 1 ..... (2)
from (1) and (2), y = 3 and z = 2
for calculating odd divisor of p = 2x . 3y . 5z
x must be zero
P = 20 . 33 . 52
Total possible cases = (3050 + 3150 + 3250 + 3350 + .... + 3352)
Total odd divisors must be (3 + 1) ( 2 + 1) = 12
