Concept used:

If the last 2 digits of any number divisible by 4, then the number is divisible by 4

Calculation:

According to the question, the numbers are

2332, 2552, 4664, 2772, 6776, 4884, 2992, and 6996

So, there are 8 such numbers in the form abba, divisible by 4

∴ The correct answer is 8

Mistake Points

If you are considering an example ending with 20,

then, 'abba' will be '0220', and 0220 is not a four-digit number. 

Similarly in the case of the example ending with 40,60,80.
