IMO E

The answer choices seem to be small....just check with first few perfect squares say 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49

A. 48 - divisible by 4
B. 117 - divisible by 9
C. 245 - divisible by 49
D. 297 - divisible by 9. (Divisibility Rule of 9 - Sum of digits should be a multiple of 9)
E. 345 - (left Over and should be the answer, no need to check)
