• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is C

4

132 = 4 x 3 x 11

So, if the number divisible by all the three number 4, 3 and 11, then the number is divisible by 132 also.

264 is divisible by 11, 3, 4. So it is divisible by 132

396 is divisible by 11, 3, 4. So it is divisible by 132

462is not divisible by 3. So it is not divisible by 132

792 is divisible by 11, 3, 4. So it is divisible by 132

968is not divisible by 3. So it is not divisible by 132

2178is not divisible by 4. So it is not divisible by 132

5184is not divisible by 11. So it is not divisible by 132

6336 is divisible by 11, 3, 4. So it is divisible by 132

Therefore the following numbers are divisible by 132:

264, 396, 792 and 6336
