Given that 2074x4y2 is divisible by 88,
This will be divisible by 88 if, it is individually divisible by 11 and 8.
Divisibility by - Any number is divisible by 8, if the last 3 digit of that number is divisible by 8.
4y2Â it will be divisible by 8 if, y=3 or y=7
Divisibility by 11- Any number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of odd place digit and sum of even place digit is divisible by 11.
$$2+4+4+0-x-y-7-2=1-x-y$$
Now y=3 then x=9
if y=7 then x=5
Now, substituting the values in the equation,
if x=9 and y=3 then $$ (4x + 3y)=4\times 9+3\times 3=36+9=45 $$
if x=5 and y=7 then$$ (4x + 3y)=4\times 5+3\times 7=20+21=41$$
