B 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

We know that a number is divisible by 3 only when the sum of its digits is also divisible by 3. So,
5 + 9 + x + 2 + 8 + 4 = (28 + x) should be divisible by 3 So, possible values of x = 2, 5, 8 Maximum possible value of x = 8 So, required value
= 6 × 8
= 48
