Correct Answer: 2
Solution :
A number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.
Given number = 84pp153p
The sum of digits without including p = 8 + 4 + 1 + 5 + 3 = 21
⇒ The least possible value of p is 2, which will make the sum of the digits 27, which is divisible by 9.
Hence, the correct answer is 2.
