Factors of the number are
$$576 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 = 2^6 \times 3^2$$
$$96 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 = 2^5 \times 3$$
$$144 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 = 2^4 \times 3^2$$
LCM of 96,144 and n is 576.
i.e.
$$n = 2^6 \times k = 64k$$
....(1)
HCF is 48.
$$HCF(96, 144, 64k) = 2^4 \times 3$$
$$48 = 2^4 \times 3$$
This only happen if k=3
So, substituting k=3 in (1),
$$n=64×3=192.$$
D is correct choice.
