∵ the all multiple of 6 must be the multiples of ( 2 , 3 ) .
Hence we have :
5 2 2 8 0 → cannot be a multiple of 6 .
5 2 2 8 2 → cannot be a multiple of 6 .
5 2 2 8 4 → can be a multiple of 6 .
5 2 2 8 6 → cannot be a multiple of 6 .
5 2 2 8 8 → cannot be a multiple of 6 .
Note: The missing digit should be even if it be a multiple of 2 .
Since 5228? is a multiple of 6, then it must be a multiple of 2 and a multiple of 3.
If it is a multiple of 2, the digit represented by ? must be even.
If it is a multiple of 3, the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.
The sum of its digits is 5 + 2 + 2 + 8 +? = 17 + ?
Since ? is even, the possible sums of digits are 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 (for the possible values 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 for ?)
Of these possibilities, only 21 is divisible by 3, so ? must equal 4.
We can check that 52 284 is divisible by 6.

Let's split 6 = 2 × 3 which means 5 2 2 8 a is a even number & divisible by 3.
If you want 5 2 2 8 a to be visible by 3,then we use 5 + 2 + 2 + 8 = 1 7 to know a = 1 , 4 , 7
If you want 5 2 2 8 a to be a even number, then a = 0 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8
Combine these algebra,we have a = 4
