If a number P is divisible by 2 and another number Q is divisible by 3, then which of the following is true?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. P × Q is divisible by 6.

If a number P is divisible by 2, then the required number is in the form of 2a.

If a number is divisible by 3, then the required number is in the form of 3b.

Their product P × Q = 2a × 3b = 6ab.
