my answer is B ie 36.

The question clearly states the sum should be a multiple of 8
the only option, not a multiple of 8 is 36.

Hence B

If the ratio of goblins to witches in New Orleans is 5 to 3, which of the following could not be the number of goblins and witches in the city?

A. 32
B. 36
C. 40
D. 48
E. 56


goblins ; 5x/8 and witches 3x/8

so value of x must be factor of 8
from given option 36 is not correct
IMO B
