Solution:
m=\(a^4b^2c^5d\)
In order to find the total number of positive zeros, add 1 to the power of the numbers and multiply
E.g. 6=2*3
Thus, 2 & 3 have a power of 1
Add 1 to both of them and multiply
(1+1)(1+1)=4
You can try finding the individual factors(1,6,2 & 3) the total number of factors will be 4.
Similarly, for the above adding 1 to all the power gives us:
(4+1)(2+1)(5+1)(1+1)=4*3*5*2=180
IMO E
Hope this helps!
