Correct Answer: 3


Solution : For a number to be divisible by 8, the last 3 digits should be divisible by 8.
In the given number 89476*2, the last 3 digits are 6*2.
Since we have to find the smallest number with the given condition, we start substituting * with 0 to 9 and check if it is divisible by 8.
602 is not divisible by 8.
612 is not divisible by 8.
622 is not divisible by 8.
632 is divisible by 8.
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
