- As per this question 1 more condition was there that the number is divisible by 11.
Ans : option b that is 11.
explanation :
sum of the digits from 1 to 9 is 45.
and as we know if a number is divisible by 11 then the sum of digits at odd and even places would be zero or multiple of 11.
now as per the question we have x + y = 45
take x as sum of digits at odd or even place of the number.
take y as sum of digits at odd or even place of the number.
so we get x = 45 - y.
as per the given options we have :
x - y = 0 or x- y = 11 or x -y = 22 or x -y = 33 we can get to know which is satisfying the equation.
so as a whole we get 45 - y - y = 0 as we put the value of x from the equation x + y = 45.
so out of 4 only 2 options are giving the integer value. ie 45-2y=11 and 45-2y=33.
=>45-2y=33
=>2y=78
=>y=39.
now x+y =45 therefore x =6.
as x = 6. we cant get 6 as the sum of the digits at even or odd places. therefore it cannot be possible .
next is 45 -2y= 11.
=>2y = 56
=>y=28.
therefore x = 45-28
=> x= 17.
Now we can get 17 as a sum of digits = 17 at odd places and 28 at even places. see the arrangement as 2+9+3+8+5+7+6+1 .
and the difference of 28 and 17 is 11 that is divisible by 11 hence the answer is 11. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(16) No(3)
- Ans:- a) 0
Solution:-
1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 45
sum of alternate digit
9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 45
then difference
=45-45
