Correct Answer: $\sqrt{28}$
Solution : A number is divisible by 72 if and only if it is divisible by both 8 and 9 (since 72 is the product of 8 and 9, and 8 and 9 are coprime). 1. For a number to be divisible by 8, its last three digits must form a number that is divisible by 8. In this case, the last three digits are 7B6. For 7B6 to be divisible by 8, "B" must be 3. 2. For a number to be divisible by 9, the sum of its digits must be divisible by 9. If we substitute B = 3 into the number 75462A9736, the sum of the digits = 7 + 5 + 4 + 6 + 2 + A + 9 + 7 + 3 + 6 = 49 + A For this to be divisible by 9, A must be 5. $\therefore\sqrt{8 A-4 B}=\sqrt{8 \times 5 - 4 \times 3} = \sqrt{28}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{28}$.
