Q148

Which of the following number is divisible by 24 ?

A.
35718
B.
63810
C.
537804
D.
3125736
Answer
E.
None of these

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
24 = 3 × 8, where 3 and 8 co-prime
Clearly, 35718 is not divisible by 8, as 718 is not divisible by 8
Similarly, 63810 is not divisible by 8 and 537804 is not divisible by 8
Consider option (D),
Sum of digits = (3 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 7 + 3 + 6) = 27, which is divisible by 3
Also, 736 is divisible by 8
∴ 3125736 is divisible by (3 × 8), i.e., 24
