Correct Answer: 6


Solution : Since the number 3426x is not divisible by 5, x cannot be equal to 5 or 0.
As the number 3426x is divisible by 6, it is divisible by 2 and 3.
Hence, x can be an even number. i.e., 2 or 4 or 6 or 8.
And (3 + 4 + 2 + 6 + x = 15 + x) should be a multiple of 3.
From x = 2 or 4 or 6 or 8, (15 + x) will be a multiple of 3 when x = 6.
Hence, the correct answer is 6.
