    2y).
    A 19 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Check divisibility by 8: Last 3 digits = 79y

    Try y = 2 → 792 ÷ 8 = 99 ✅

    Now check sum:

    2 + 4 + 6 + x + 1 + 7 + 9 + 2 = (31 + x)

    x = 5 → 36 ✅

    Required value = (5 + 2×2) = (5 + 4) = 9
