    Question

    In the following finite sequence of integers, how many 9s are divisible by their immediate next terms?
    8,3,4,9,3,5,9,5,9,9,9,4,5,9,5,6,3,3,5,7,2,3,9,9,8,9,3,9,1,9,4

    4

    C.

    5

    D.

    6

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    We have the following sequence of integers:

    8, 3, 4, 9, 3, 5, 9, 5, 9, 9, 9, 4, 5, 9, 5, 6, 3, 3, 5, 7, 2, 3, 9, 9, 8, 9, 3, 9, 1, 9, 4

    We need to find how many 9s are divisible by their immediate next terms.

    Solution:
    We locate all 9s in the sequence and check divisibility by the next number.

    9, 3 → 9 ÷ 3 = 3
    9, 5 → 9 ÷ 5 = Not divisible
    9, 5 → 9 ÷ 5 = Not divisible
    9, 9 → 9 ÷ 9 = 1
    9, 9 → 9 ÷ 9 = 1
    9, 4 → 9 ÷ 4 = Not divisible
    9, 5 → 9 ÷ 5 = Not divisible
    9, 9 → 9 ÷ 9 = 1
    9, 8 → 9 ÷ 8 = Not divisible
    9, 3 → 9 ÷ 3 = 3
    9, 1 → 9 ÷ 1 = 9
    9, 4 → 9 ÷ 4 = Not divisible
    Count of valid cases:
    Six 9s are divisible by their next term.

    Final Answer:
    (D) 6
