Question

What will be the remainder when 97531 is divided by 9?

This question was previously asked in
RPF Constable 2018 Question Paper PDF (16-Feb-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

7

7 is correct.

This works because 10 leaves remainder 1 on division by 9, so every power of 10 also leaves remainder 1.

A number leaves the same remainder on division by 9 as the sum of its digits.

Sum of digits \(=9+7+5+3+1=25\).

\(25=2\times 9+7\), so the remainder is 7.
