Answer:

Germany - 90

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question

Germany 90

Sweden 78

Japan 63

Canada 75

The appropriate answer should be a multiple of 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9. That is when the number is divided by 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9 it should have a remainder of zero.

90 / 2 = 45

90 / 3 = 30

90 / 5 = 18

90 / 6 = 15

90 / 9 = 10

Thus, the appropriate number is 90

When 78 is divided by 5 and 9, the remainder is not zero

When 63 is divided by 2, 5 and 6, the remainder is not zero

When 75 is divided by 2, 3, 6 and 9, the remainder is not zero
