The question is wrongly written because they are saying that the REMINDER is divisible by 87. Can anyone tell me that how they are performing the divison0?
In question, they have not mentioned a word of dividing the (subtracted from 13601) this calculation by 87.

Check the divisors of 87 which is 1, 3, 29 and itself.
So when subtracting the given number by the options if it is divisible by 3 then we can choose that as a correct option.
13601 - 29 =13572 to check the divisibility of 3 1+3+5+7+2=18.
