    What is the smallest number that should be added to 673

    so that the sum becomes exactly divisible by 9?
    A 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For divisibility by 9, sum of digits must be multiple of 9. Digits of 673: 6 + 7 + 3 = 16 Next multiple of 9 after 16 is 18. We need sum of digits = 18. So we must increase digit-sum by 2. Therefore add 2 to the number: 673 + 2 = 675 Check: 6 + 7 + 5 = 18 (divisible by 9). Answer: 2.
