      Solution

      ATQ,

      A number is divisible by 12 if it is divisible by both 3 and 4.

      A number is divisible by 4 when the last two digits of the number are divisible by 4.

      'n2' is divisible by 4 when 'n' = 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.

      Since we have to find the maximum value, so 'n' = 8.

      A number is divisible by 3 when the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

      So, (9 + m + 8 + 1 + 3 + 8 + 2) = (31 + m) must be divisible by 3.

      So, 'm' = 2, 5, or 8.

      Since we have to find the maximum value, so 'm' = 8.

      Therefore, required value = 8 + 8 = 16 .
