Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(490\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(m n)=f(m) \cdot f(n)\) Put \(m=1 f(n)=f(1) \cdot f(n) \Rightarrow f(1)=1\) Put \(m=n=2\) \(f(4)=f(2) \cdot f(2)\) \(f(2)=1 \Rightarrow f(4)=1 \text { or } f(2)=2 \Rightarrow f(4)=4\) Put \(m=2, n=3\) \(f(6)=f(2) \cdot f(3)\)…
