Solution

The correct option is B 114345
For a number to be divisible by 99 it should also be divisible by all its factors, i.e by 9 and 11.

Divisibility Test for 9 :
A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9.

3572404 Sum of Digits =25
135792 Sum of Digits =27
913464 Sum of Digits =27
114345 Sum of Digits =18

3572404 isn't divisible by 99.

Divisibility Test for 11 :
Take the alternating sum of the digits in the number, read from left to right. If that is divisible by 11 , so is the original number.


135792 Alternating Sum =13+57+92=3 Not Divisible
913464 Alternating Sum =91+34+64=9 Not Divisible
114345 Alternating Sum =11+43+45=0 Divisble

114345 is divisible by 99.
