• C. 4895 is divisible by 5 and 3
• D. 4895 is divisible by 5

Answer 1

The correct option is D 4895 is divisible by 5

All even numbers are divisible by 2, hence 4895 is not divisible by 2.

A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3.
4+ 8+ 9 +5 = 26.
26 is not a multiple of 3. Hence 4895 is not divisible by 3.
