  • D
    $8$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$3$
$(A) 3$
Factorising $1536$,
We get,
$\begin{array}{c|c}2&1536\\\hline2&768\\\hline2&384\\\hline2&192\\\hline2&96\\\hline2&48\\\hline2&24\\\hline2&12\\\hline2&6\\\hline3&3\\\hline&1\end{array}$
$1536=2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times3$
$=2^3\times2^3\times2^3\times3$
We see that $3$ is left
$\therefore$ In order to get a perfect cube, we should divide it by $3$.
