Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : D

Given:

234A is divisible by 9

Concept used:

If a number is divisible by 9 then sum of its digits is also divisible by 9.

Calculation:

Sum of digits of 234A = 2 + 3 + 4 + A = 9 + A

For A = 0, sum will be 9, which is divisible by 9

But 0 is not a natural number

Next nearest number to 9 is 18, which is divisible by 9

9 + A = 18

⇒ A = 9

∴ Smallest natural number is 9 for which 234A is divisible by 9.
