Detailed Solution

3p.6m.21n = 2m×3(p+m+n) × 7n
As we are finding the odd proper divisors, the even powers can be omitted
i.e.  3(p+m+n) × 7n
 number of divisors = (p+m+n+1) (n+1)
but this also includes the proper divisor 1,
 number of proper divisors = (p+m+n+1) (n+1) −1

Hence, Option (2) is the correct answer.
