Options for question 21

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. A number is divisible by 9 when its digit sum is a multiple of 9.

  2. 3+4+6=133 + 4 + 6 = 13, and the next multiple of 9 is 18.

  3. So the missing digit is 18−13=518 - 13 = 5.

Worth noting

Using 2 makes the digit sum 15, a multiple of 3 but not of 9 — that is the test for 3.
