Question

6 is added to a number, such that the resultant number becomes divisible by 8. Choose that number from the given options.

• A. 1474
• B. 4174
• C. 7441
• D. 1744

Answer 1

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.
