264, 396, 462, 792, 968, 2178, 5184, 6336
Answer: Option

132 = 4 x 3 x 11
So, if the number divisible by all the three number 4, 3 and 11, then the number is divisible by 132 also.
264 
11,3,4 (/)
396 11,3,4 (/)
462 11,3 (X)
792 11,3,4 (/)
968 11,4 (X)
2178 11,3 (X)
5184 3,4 (X)
6336 11,3,4 (/)
Therefore the following numbers are divisible by 132 : 264, 396, 792 and 6336.
Required number of number = 4.
