(A) 16 (B) 13 (C) 5 (D) 3 (E) none of the above
Option A, C & E can be safely ignored as we can pick up some numbers which contradict the divisibility
247247 >> Cannot be divided by 16, 5 & 3
To check for 13, better to go the algebraic way:
\(abcabc = a * 10^5 + b * 10^4 + c * 10^3 + a * 10^2 + b * 10^1 + c * 10^0\)

Here the BEST approach would be dividing by abc.. we can be sure that abcabcwill get div by abc.. abcabc/abc = 1001.. what are factors of 1001 = 7*11*13.. Thus in given choices 13 is correct ans B

abcabc = 10^5*a + 10^4*b + 10^3*c + 10^2 *a + 10 * b + c = 1001 (100a + 10b + c)
Now 1001 = 13*7*11
So, 13 must be a factor of abcabc
