let 56a be a three digit number , where a is a prime number . then a56 =56a+6a5 can't be divisible by  a. 3 2. 37 c. 18 d. 22

Dear Student

In the question:
a56 = 56a + 6a5
If on comparing the unit place 6=a+5, therefore a=6-5=1
a=1 which is not prime which contradicts the question as a is supposed to be prime.

Please recheck the question and be a little specific so that we can provide you with meaningful help.
