Correct Answer :

Option C

10

Solution :

The correct option is 10.

To find which of the given options divides the expression 225+227, we can simplify the expression by factoring out the greatest common power of 2.

First, let us write the expression:
225+227

We can express 227 as 225×22. Substituting this back into the expression gives:
225+225×22

Now, factor out the common term 225:
225×(1+22)

Next, simplify the terms inside the parentheses. Since 22=4, we have:
1+4=5

Substituting this value back, the expression becomes:
225×5

We can rewrite 225 as 224×2 to explicitly show a factor of 10:
224×2×5

Since 2×5=10, the expression simplifies to:
224×10

Because the simplified expression contains 10 as a factor, the entire number is completely divisible by 10.
