      Solution

      ATQ,

      A number divisible by 24 must be divisible by both 3 and 8.

      Divisible by 3 β†’ Sum of digits is divisible by 3

      Divisible by 8 β†’ Last three digits form a number divisible by 8

      Option A: 8 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 6 = 31 β†’ Not divisible by 3

      Option B: 6 + 7 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 8 = 30 β†’ Divisible by 3

      Last 3 digits: 328 β†’ 328 Γ· 8 = 41 β†’ Divisible by 8 βœ…

      Option C: 5 + 9 + 2 + 4 + 1 + 6 = 27 β†’ Divisible by 3

      Last 3 digits: 416 β†’ 416 Γ· 8 = 52 β†’ Divisible by 8 βœ…

      Option D: 4 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 15 β†’ Not divisible by 3

      Hence, Both Option B and C are divisible by 3 and 8
