On Brilliant there are question related to this number. This number can found out without hit-n-trial method.

Clearly the 5th and 10th digits are 5 & 0 respectively,

Now 4th digit can only be from 2 & 6 as 3rd digit is odd and for the number to be divisible by 4 its last two digits must be divisible by 4,

Sum of first 3, next 3 & next 3 digits must be divisible by 3,

Hence,

We get the following combinations for 4th,5th &6th digits - 258 or 654,

Now with use of divisibility of 8 we can figure out 6th,7th & 8th digits,

With help of less hard work we can figure out the number.

I would like to clarify your solution-We know that a number is divisible by $4$ when last two digits are divisible by $4$ and there are no two digit numbers having $4$ and $8$ as last digits and are divisible by $4$ therefore for $4^{th}$ digit we can say that at the $4^{th}$ place only $2$ or $4$ are possible digits.

Similarly , as $8$ is divisible by $4$ the $8^{th}$ digit would be either $2$ or $4$ . Then, as $Akshay$ told we can proceed to get the answer.
