    If the number ‘7k854l2’ is divisible by 12, then what

    is the highest value of (k + l)?
    A 23 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Divisible by 12 ⇒ divisible by both 3 and 4

    Last two digits: ‘l2’ ⇒ l = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8

    Maximum l = 8

    Sum = 7 + k + 8 + 5 + 4 + 8 + 2 = 34 + k

    34 + k divisible by 3 → k = 2, 5, 8

    Max k = 8

    Max (k + l) = 8 + 8 = 16
