Solution
The correct option is A 1474 According to the rule for divisibility by 8: A number is divisible by 8 if the number formed by the last 3 digits of the given number is divisible by 8 From the options given: 4174 + 6 = 4180 ends with 180 which is not divisible by 8 7441 + 6 = 7447 ends with 447 which is not divisible by 8 1744 + 6 = 1750 ends with 750 which is not divisible by 8 1474 + 6 = 1480 ends with 480 which is divisible by 8. Hence when 6 is added to 1474, the sum is divisible by 8.
