SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 63

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e 99968.

We know that,

Reminder = Dividend - Quotient × divisor

Largest five-digit number = 99999

Now,

Divide the largest five-digit number by 88, and we got

Reminder = 31

This means that if the number was 31 less, it would be completely divisible by 88 After dividing 99999 with 88, we get 31 as the remainder.

So, the largest 5-digit number divisible by 88 = 99999 - 31 = 99968
