Which of the following number is divisible by 24 ?
35718
63810
537804
3125736
Answer: Option
Explanation:

24 = 3 x8, 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 x 8), i.e., 24.

5+4+7+8+0+4=28 is not divisible by 3, it can't by 24 also

Raj said:   7 years ago
