If 8A5146B is divisible by 88, then what is the value of AB?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 81

8A5146B is divisible by 88.

So, 8A5146B is divisible by 8 and 11

46B should be divisible by 8

Put B = 4, 464 is divisible by 8

Hence, B = 4

Now, 8A51464 should be divisible by 11

(8 + 5 + 4 + 4) - (A + 1 + 6) should be divisible by 11

21 - (A + 7) should be divisible by 11

14 - A should be divisible by 11

Put A = 3

14 - 3 = 11 which is divisible by 11

Thus, A = 3

AB = 34 = 81
