Given:

Divisor = 33

Concept Used:

The divisibility rule of 3 = Sum of all number digits should be divisible by 3.

Calculation:

As 33 can be expressed as 3 × 11.

For the first option,

35508 = 3 + 5 + 5 + 0 + 8 = 21, is divisible by 3.

Difference between the sum of numbers at odd places and even places = (3 + 5 + 8) – (5 + 0) = 11.

11, is divisible by 11.

For the second option,

35580 = 3 + 5 + 5 + 8 + 0 = 21, is  divisible by 3.

Difference between the sum of numbers at odd places and even places = (3 + 5 + 0) – (5 + 8) = - 5.

- 5, is not divisible by 11.

For the third option,

36508 = 3 + 6 + 5 + 8 = 22

22 is not divisible by 3.

For the fourth option,

34936 = 3 + 4 + 9 + 3 + 6 = 25, is not divisible by 3.

Therefore, the number which is exactly divisible by 33 is 35508.
