Correct Answer: 9
Solution :
Let's consider a number with three digits, a, b, and c.
The value of this number can be expressed as follows: 100a + 10b + c
Subtracting the sum of the digits from the number,
(100a + 10b + c) – (a + b + c) = 99a + 9b = 9 (11a + b)
Hence, the resulting number is always divisible by 9.
Option 4 is correct.
