Decision rule:
If r<d/2 → nearest is below (subtract remainder).
If r>d/2 → nearest is above (add d−rd−r).
If r=d/2→ both are equally near,
Here,
88/2 = 44, 44<remainder 65,
So, 9217 + (88-65) = 9240,
Hence, the answer is 9240.

Simple divide 9217 by 88 you will get 65 as the remainder.
Now, there are 2 cases;
Case 1) 9217 - 65 = 9152.
Case 2) 9217 + (88 - 65) = 9240/(88 - 65) to find difference.
The nearest number is 9240. So, that's the answer.

The nearest number is 9240. So, that's the answer.

Here, what they asked which natural no nearest 1 which div by 88.
Let's check the diff b/w option to 9217.
1.65
2.23
3. 153
4.33.
Among 2 is near to 9217.
Lets check B (9240) is div by 88 are not.
105 time of 88 gives 9240.
So, B is the right answer.

Co factor of 88 = 11*8, So no must be divisible by both 11 & 8. Now in case of 9152,
Last 3 digit sum is 2+5+2 = 8 which is divisible by 8 and you can check 11 also by (5+9)-(2+1) = 11,
Which is divisible by 11. So correct answer is 9152.
