When the positive integer x is divided by 6, the remainder is 4. Each of the following could also be an integer EXCEPT


(A) \(\frac{x}{2}\)

(B) \(\frac{x}{3}\)

(C) \(\frac{x}{7}\)

(D) \(\frac{x}{11}\)

(E) \(\frac{x}{17}\)


Note : If any number is not divisible by 3 it's not divisible by 6.

X is not divisible by 6. So, x is not divisible by 3.

The best answer is B.

­IMO, this is a very risky assumption. Although it is true that if a number is divisible by 6 it is definitely divisible by 3, the reverse is not true always. 15 is not divisle by 6 but is perfectly divisible by 3.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
