SSC Selection Post 2023 PYQ — Question 59

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 4512984.

Which number is divisible by 12, Check if it is divisible by both:

3 (sum of digits divisible by 3)

4 (last two digits divisible by 4)

(A) 5409844

Sum of digits = 5+4+0+9+8+4+4 = 34 →  Not divisible by 3

Last two digits = 44 →  divisible by 4 (since 44 ÷ 4 = 11)           (Not divisible by 12)

(B) 4298123

Sum = 4+2+9+8+1+2+3 = 29 →  Not divisible by 3

Last two digits = 23 →  Not divisible by 4  (Not divisible by 12)

(C) 4512984

Sum = 4+5+1+2+9+8+4 = 33 →  divisible by 3

Last two digits = 84 →  divisible by 4 (84 ÷ 4 = 21)  (Divisible by 12)

(D) 3215678

Sum = 3+2+1+5+6+7+8 = 32 →  Not divisible by 3

Last two digits = 78 → Not divisible by 4  (Not divisible by 12)
