got E.

D is eliminated because 50 is never possible. the tens digit can never be odd.

E is left.

Agree with your answer tennis:

However, 216, 432, 456, 552, 576 all have odd tens digits



regarding the bold quote, i meant that when the last digit is 0, the tens digit can never be odd. hence 50 is impossible.

it really has nothing to explain. someone has to try and see it.

I may be wrong but I think it is a simple question. Essentially we need to check the divisibilty of these number by 24. I guess a number is divisible by 24 if it is divisible by 4 and 6. A quick scanning reveals that only E stands since a number is divisible by 4 if its last two digits are divisible by 4.

could not figure out this divisibility question:

which of the numbers could be the no. of hours in x days where x is an integer.

25xx06
50xx26
56xx02
62xx50
65xx20

where each x denotes a missing digit

thanks in advance!

arjsingh,
yes, answer is E - very insightful method/explanation - simple to you, but not to me :(
thanks!
