 Prashant thought of a 4-digit number. He multiplied it by 12. He added 39 to it. He subtracted 36 dozens from that number and he multiplied the resultant number with 24. The number that he got was 25 x 2536. He cannot see digit x because the calculator was malfunctioning. What is digit x from among the choice given?
a. 2
b. 4
c. 6
d. 8

answer

the answer is b.4
cuz 24=2*2*2*3. The resultant number 25x2536 shd be divisible by 3. X can be 1,4,7. by elimination it is 4
