Question

The sum of the digits of a four-digit number 'abed' is subtracted from the number. Then the result of this will be always divisible by

A.

9

B.

11

C.

13

D.

14

Correct option is A

Solution:

A 4-digit number written as abed, where:

  • a, b, e, d are digits

The number can be written as:
1000a + 100b + 10e + d

The sum of its digits is:
a + b + e + d

Now subtract the sum of digits from the number:

(1000a + 100b + 10e + d) - (a + b + e + d)

Simplify:

= (1000a - a) + (100b - b) + (10e - e) + (d - d)
= 999a + 99b + 9e

Take common factor:

= 9 × (111a + 11b + e)

So, the result is always divisible by 9

Correct Answer: (A) 9
