Which natural number is nearest to 9217, which is completely divisible by 88 ?
9152
9240
9064
9184
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:
On dividing we get, 

 88) 9217 (104
     88
     ----
      417
      352
      ----
       65
      ----
  
 Therefore, Required number = 9217 + (88 - 65) // Because (88 - 65) < 65.
                            = 9217 + 23
                            = 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.

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.

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.

Therefore, Required number = 9217 -65
= 9152.

We need to find the nearest no. so the nearest no. is 9152 not 9240.

@Tanya Mazumdar

You are wrong. The given answer 9240 is correct.

Among the given options, the three numbers 9152, 9240 and 9064 are only divisible by 88.

Now,

Difference b/w 9217 and 9152 = 65
Difference b/w 9217 and 9240 = 23 [* Required answer]
Difference b/w 9217 and 9064 = 153

Therefore, 9240 is nearest to 9217.

Hence 9240 is the required answer.
