1.	What least value must be assigned to * so that the number 197 * 5462 is r 9 ?
Answer» Let the missing digit be x. Sum of digits = (1 + 9 + 7 + x + 5 + 4 + 6 + 2) = (34 + x). For (34 + x) to be divisible by 9, x must be replaced by 2 . Hence, the digit in place of * must be 2.

Answer»

Let the missing digit be x.

Sum of digits = (1 + 9 + 7 + x + 5 + 4 + 6 + 2) = (34 + x).

For (34 + x) to be divisible by 9, x must be replaced by 2 .

Hence, the digit in place of * must be 2.
