Correct Answer: 98998


Solution : To be divisible by 8, the last three digits of a number must form a multiple of 8
(a) 98984: The last three digits are 984, a multiple of 8 (8 * 123). So, 98984 is divisible by 8.
(b) 98992: The last three digits are 992, a multiple of 8 (8 * 124). So, 98992 is divisible by 8.
(c) 98998: The last three digits 998 is not a multiple of 8 because 998 ÷ 8 equals 124 with a remainder of 6. So, 98998 is not divisible by 8.
(d) 99008: The last three digits are 008 and 8 is, of course, a multiple of 8. So, 99008 is also divisible by 8.
Hence, the correct answer is 98998.
