Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Given:

Number = 28P0

According to the formula:

Divisibility by 8 ⇒ The last 3 digits must be divisible by 8.

Last 3 digits = 8P0

P = 0 → 800 ÷ 8

P = 2 → 820 ÷ 8

P = 4 → 840 ÷ 8

P = 6 → 860 ÷ 8

P = 8 → 880 ÷ 8

P = 1 is not possible.
