When the positive integer x is divided by 6, the remainder is 4. Each of the following could also be an integer EXCEPT
(A) \(\frac{x}{2}\)

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.
