      C 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Nine-digit number 89563x87y is divisible by 72, so the number is also divisible by 8 and 9. Divisibility law of 8 β‡’ A number divisible by 8 if its last three digits are divisible by 8. Divisibility law of 9 β‡’ A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. 87y divisible by 8 if y = 2 Nine-digit number 89563x872 is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9. = 8+9+5+6+3+x+8+7+2 =48+x So, putting the value of x= 6 Now -√ (8x -6y) = √ (8Γ—6 – 6Γ—2) = √ 36 = 6
