Digital Root Calculation: Finding the Roll Number

The question asks to identify the roll number whose digital root is 9. The digital root is calculated by summing the digits of a number repeatedly until a single-digit number is obtained.

Calculating Digital Roots for Each Option

We determine the digital root for each roll number provided:

Option 1: 987654

  • Sum of digits: $9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 = 39$
  • Summing the digits of 39: $3 + 9 = 12$
  • Summing the digits of 12: $1 + 2 = 3$
  • The digital root for 987654 is 3.

Option 2: 888888

  • Sum of digits: $8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 48$
  • Summing the digits of 48: $4 + 8 = 12$
  • Summing the digits of 12: $1 + 2 = 3$
  • The digital root for 888888 is 3.

Option 3: 765431

  • Sum of digits: $7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 26$
  • Summing the digits of 26: $2 + 6 = 8$
  • The digital root for 765431 is 8.

Option 4: 999999

  • Sum of digits: $9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 54$
  • Summing the digits of 54: $5 + 4 = 9$
  • The digital root for 999999 is 9.

Conclusion

By calculating the digital root for each option, we find that the roll number 999999 is the one with a digital root equal to 9.
