Correct Answer - Option 1 : 4

Calculation:

132 = 3 × 4 × 11. 

3, 4 and 11 are factors of 132, hence if a number is divisible by 3,4 and 11, the number will be divisible by their product 132 also.

Here 3, 4 and 11 are pair-wise co-prime numbers.

If a number is not divisible by 3 or 4 or 11, then it is not divisible by 132.

⇒ 264 is divisible by 3, 4 and 11; so 264 is divisible by 132.

⇒ 396 is divisible by 3, 4 and 11; so 396 is divisible by 132.

⇒ 462 is divisible by 3 and 11 but not divisible by 4; so 462 is not divisible by 132.

⇒ 792 is divisible by 3, 4 and 11; so 792 is divisible by 132.

⇒ 968  is divisible by 4 and 11 but not divisible by 3; so 462 is not divisible by 132.

⇒ 2178  is divisible by 3 and 11 but not divisible by 4; so 462 is not divisible by 132.

⇒ 5184  is divisible by 3 and 4 but not divisible by 11; so 462 is not divisible by 132.

⇒ 6336 is divisible by 3, 4 and 11; so 6336 is divisible by 132.

Only 264, 396, 792 and 6336 are divisible by 132.

∴ 4 numbers are divisible by 132.
