The correct answer is: 1146

2520=252×10

=22×32×71×10

=23×32×51×71

Number of proper divisors

=3+12+11+11+1-2

=48-2=46

Number of odd divisors

=12+11+11+1,

as power of 2 should be zero here =12

 Subtract 1 here as in these 12 divisors, 1 is also counted which is not included in total proper divisors.

So, probability =12-146

=1146
