Which of the following are divisible by 2, 3 and 11 ?

A. 8448
B. 9812
C. 9126
D. 9636

Choose the correct option :

  • A.A and B
  • B.B and D
  • C.A and D
  • D.A and C

Answer: C

The numbers divisible by 2, 3 and 11 are A and D: 8448 and 9636.

Divisibility by 2, 3 and 11 means divisibility by 66. Check each rule:

  • 8448: even; digit sum 24, divisible by 3; alternating sum 8 - 4 + 4 - 8 = 0, divisible by 11. (8448 = 66 × 128.)
  • 9812: digit sum 20, not divisible by 3.
  • 9126: even and digit sum 18, but alternating sum 9 - 1 + 2 - 6 = 4, not divisible by 11.
  • 9636: even; digit sum 24; alternating sum 9 - 6 + 3 - 6 = 0. (9636 = 66 × 146.)

Options including B or C therefore fail one of the tests.
