Which natural number is nearest to 9217, which is completely divisible by 88 ?

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.

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.
