If a 4 digit number x58y is exactly divisible by 9, then the least value of (x + y) is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 5
As we know the divisibility rule of 9 that
If the sum of digits of a number is divisible by 9 then that number will be divided by 9
The given number is x58y then Sum of the digits = x+5 + 8+ y = x + y + 13
It is divide by 9 if x + y = 5
Hence, the least value of (x + y) = 5
