The number 3798125P369 is divisible by 7. What is the value of the digit P?

The correct answer is

6

 Shortcut Trick

STEP - I: Three digit number blocks are formed from right to left.

⇒ 369, 25P, 981, 037

STEP - II:  Now Adding and subtracting the numbers formed alternatively

⇒ 369 - 25P + 981 - 37 

⇒ 369 - 250 - P + 981 - 37

⇒ 1063 - p

STEP - III:  The result obtained in STEP - II should be divisible by 7

⇒ 1063 - P = 151  \(\times\)  7 + 6 - P

For 3798125P369 to be divisible by 7,

6 - P = 0

⇒ P = 6

Hence, option 2 is correct.
