Solution : The number 3*7440 is divisible by 12, so we can say the number is also divisible by both 4 and 3. Divisibility law of 4∶ A number is divisible by 4 if its last two digits are divisible by 4. Divisibility law of 3∶ A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. The last two digits are 40 which means that the number is divisible by 4. Let the value of * be x. For checking divisibility by 3 we calculate the sum of numbers. Sum of the numbers = 3 + x + 7 + 4 + 4 + 0 = 18 + x for x = 0, the sum is divisible by 3. So, the least value of x is 0. Hence, the correct answer is 0.
