Q:

A boy multiplied 987 by a certain number and obtained 559981 as his answer. If in the answer both 98 are wrong and the other digits are correct , then the correct answer would be :

 A) 553681 B) 555181 C) 555681 D) 556581

Explanation:

987 = 3 * 7 * 47.
So, the required number must be divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47
553681 => (Sum of digits = 28, not divisible by 3)
555181 => (Sum of digits = 25, not divisible by 3)
555681 is divisible by each one of 3, 7, 47.
