How many 8 are present in the following sequence of numbers which are exactly divisible by both its preceding and following numbers?
3 8 6 8 8 7 6 8 3 4 8 2 5 6 2 8 2 4 8 6 3 7 4 8 4 5 8 4
A)
5
B)
6
C)
3
D)
4
We need to count only those 8s that are exactly divisible by both the number immediately before and the number immediately after them.
Write the sequence with positions:
1) 3
2) 8
3) 6
4) 8
5) 8
6) 7
7) 6
8) 8
9) 3
10) 4
11) 8
12) 2
13) 5
14) 6
15) 2
16) 8
17) 2
18) 4
19) 8
20) 6
21) 3
22) 7
23) 4
24) 8
25) 4
26) 5
27) 8
28) 4
Now check each 8:
- Position 2: neighbors 3 and 6. 8 is not divisible by 3, so no.
- Position 4: neighbors 6 and 8. 8 is not divisible by 6, so no.
- Position 5: neighbors 8 and 7. 8 is not divisible by 7, so no.
- Position 8: neighbors 6 and 3. 8 is not divisible by 6 or 3, so no.
- Position 11: neighbors 4 and 2. 8 is divisible by both 4 and 2, so yes.
- Position 16: neighbors 2 and 2. 8 is divisible by both 2 and 2, so yes.
- Position 19: neighbors 4 and 6. 8 is not divisible by 6, so no.
- Position 24: neighbors 4 and 4. 8 is divisible by both 4 and 4, so yes.
- Position 27: neighbors 5 and 4. 8 is not divisible by 5, so no.
Total qualifying 8s = 3.
So the correct option is (c) 3.
Why others are incorrect:
- (a) 5: too many; only 3 positions satisfy the condition.
- (b) 6: also too many.
- (d) 4: still one more than the actual count.
Note: The count is based on the standard interpretation that an 8 qualifies only if it is divisible by both adjacent numbers.
