Placing which of the following two digits at the right end of 4530 makes the resultant six digit number divisible by 6,7 and 9?
Sum of the given digits = 4+5+3+0 =12
in option (a), sum of digits = 9+6 = 15
in option (b), sum of digits = 7+8 = 15
in option (c), sum of digits = 4+2 = 6
in option (d), sum of digits = 5+4 = 9
Now, for option (d), the overall sum of digits will be 12+9=21 which is not divisible by 9
So, this option can be eliminated.
Now among 453096, 453078 and 453042, all the numbers are divisible by both 6 and 9.
So, we need to find which number is divisible by 7
Now, $$453096=45\times\ 10^4+30\times\ 10^2+96$$
Now, $$10^2$$≡2(mod 7) and $$10^4$$≡4(mod 7)
So, 453096(mod 7)≡($$45\times\ 4+30\times\ 2+96$$)(mod 7)≡336(mod 7)≡0(mod 7) as 336 is divisible by 7
So, 453096 is divisible by 7
We can do similar operation in case of 453078 and 453042
453078(mod 7)≡($$45\times\ 4+30\times\ 2+78$$)(mod 7)≡318(mod 7)≡3(mod 7) so it is not divisible by 7
453042(mod 7)≡($$45\times\ 4+30\times\ 2+42$$)(mod 7)≡282(mod 7)≡2(mod 7) so it is not divisible by 7
So, option A is the correct answer
