Question

Find the number that should be added to $2872$ to make it exactly divisible by $6$?

• A. $1$
• B. $2$
• C. $3$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $2$

We know the divisibility rule for $6$:
If the number is exactly divisible by both $2$ and $3$ then the given number is also divisible by $6$.
Here, $2+8+7+2=19$
So, $19+2=21$
Hence, $2874$ is divisible by $6$, because the last digit ends with even no. and the number is multiple of $3$.
So, option B is correct.
