|
Answer» Number is 2115 And VALUE of y is 1 Steps : 21y5 is a multiple of 9 We know that divisibility by 9 rule If the sum of the digits of a number is DIVISIBLE by 9, then the number is divisible by 9 So, 2+1+y+5 = 9 or 0 8+y = 9 or 0 8+y = 0 and 8+y = 9 y = - 8 and y = 1 y = - 8 not possible Hence y = 1 is the answer |
