Another simple method.
Divide the largest number by the given number.i.e 9999/88 which is equal to 113.625
Now multiply the exact number (number before the .(dot) i.e 625 (113*88). The result would be 9944.
Also we are taking 9999 because the largest number from 01 to 1000 (the numbers given are between 01 to 1000) is 9999.

The largest 4 digit number is 9999. As we have to check largest 4 digit number divisible by 88 we can exclude options b and d. 9988 is not divisible by 8. So answer is 9944.

88=11*8.
If 9944 is divisible by 8 and 11. It is also divisible by 88.
9944/8=1243, 9944/11=94.
So it is divisible by 88.
If 9944 is divisible by 8 and 11. It is also divisible by 88.
9944/8=1243, 9944/11=94.
So it is divisible by 88.

No Vasanthi. If we divide 9988 by 8 and 11 then also its fully divisible and our answer comes wrong.
Not a correct method. You urself check for all numbers.

Hi! its a simple method to clear.
That is
It s some more difficult to divide by 88.
So to solve the problem, just divide the no by 8 and 11.
Because 88=8*11. Check it.

The largest 4-digit no. is 9999. when we divide it by 88 we got remainder as 55. It means that 9999 is 55 more than a number that is completely divisible by 88. So we have to subtract that extent 55 from 9999 to get actual number.
