For any integer $n \geq 1$, the number of positive divisors of $n$ is denoted by $d(n)$. Then, for a prime $P, d\left(d\left(d(P)^7\right)\right)$ is equal to
  1. $1$
  2. $2$
  3. $3$
  4. $P$

Solution

Since, $d(n)$ represents number of the divisors of $n$. $\begin{array}{rlrl} & d\left(P^7\right) =8 \\ & d(8)= d\left(2^3\right) =4 \\ & d(4)= d\left(2^2\right) =3 \\ \therefore & d\left(d\left(d\left(P^7\right)\right)\right) =3 \end{array}$
