    then find the maximum value of 9x.
    A 63 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 81 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We know that a number is divisible by 3 only when the sum of its digits is also divisible by 3. So,
    4 + 9 + 2 + x + 5 + 1 = (21 + x) should be divisible by 3 So, possible values of x = 0, 3, 6, 9 Maximum possible value of x = 9 So, required value
    = 9 × 9
    = 81
