View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

None of these

Why this answer is correct

A number is divisible by 6 only when the 6 is divisible by 2 and 3 where 2 and 3 are coprime numbers.

389 → 389 is not divisable by 2.

389 = 3 + 8 + 9 = 20 which is not divisable by 3.

471 → 471 is not divisable by 2.

471 = 4 + 7 + 1 = 12 which is divisible by 3.

379 → 379 is not divisable by 2.

379 = 3 + 7 + 9 = 19 which is not divisible by 3.

787 → 789 is not divisable by 2.

789 = 7 + 8 + 7 = 22 which is not divisible by 3.

Hence, No one number is divisible by 6.
