    Question

    What least value must be given to 'a' so that the number 3a4860115 is exactly divisible by 9?

    A.

    8

    B.

    2

    C.

    5

    D.

    9

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Number = 3a4860115
    Formula Used:
    A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
    Solution:
    Sum of digits = 3 + a + 4 + 8 + 6 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 5 = 28 + a
    (28 + a) should be divisible by 9
    28 + 1 = 29
    28 + 2 = 30
    28 + 3 = 31
    28 + 4 = 32
    28 + 5 = 33
    28 + 6 = 34
    28 + 7 = 35
    28 + 8 = 36 (divisble by 9)
    Hence a= 8 is the answer
