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.

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.

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

Answer is 9152 . Thank you.
