-24 is also 3*8 or 6*4 or 12*2 or 24*1
So it could be any of the numbers
64 root is 8
16 root is 4
9 root is 3

Answer - E

We can plug in the value of K
√9 = 3
√16= 4
√64 = 8

-24 is divisible by 3 , 4 and 8.

Which of the following is a possible value of k for which -24/√k is an integer ?

I. 9
=> -24/√9
=> -24/3
=> -8 (integer) (correct)

II. 16
=> -24/√16
=> -24/4
=> -6 (integer) (correct)

III. 64
=> -24/√64
=> -24/8
=> -3 (integer) (correct)

All are satisfying

Answer is E
