An integer is divisible by 4 if its last two digits form a multiple of 4.
Two-digit multiples of 4 with a units digit of 2:
12, 32, 52, 72, 92
Since the last two digits must be one of the options above, between 1 and 200 there are 10 integers that have a units digit of 2 and are divisible by 4:
12, 32, 52, 72, 92
112, 132, 152, 172, 192

The correct answer is C.

The numbers are 12, 32, 52, etc. We see that the first number is 12 and the last number will be 192 and the numbers form an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 20. Therefore, there are (192 - 12)/20 + 1 = 180/20 + 1 = 9 + 1 = 10 such numbers.

Answer: C

=>

In order for a number with 2 in the units place to be divisible by 4, the last two digits must be one of 12, 32, 52, 72 and 92.
Thus, the numbers between 1 and 200, inclusive, satisfying this property are
12, 32, 52, 72, 92, 112, 132, 152 and 172.

There are 8 such numbers. Therefore, A is the answer.
Answer: A
