Question Number 43587 by peter frank last updated on 12/Sep/18

a and b  are the digit in a four digit  number 12ab.if 12ab is divisble by   5 and 9 .find the sum of all possible  value of  a.

$${a}\:{and}\:{b}\:\:{are}\:{the}\:{digit}\:{in}\:{a}\:{four}\:{digit} \\ $$$${number}\:\mathrm{12}{ab}.{if}\:\mathrm{12}{ab}\:{is}\:{divisble}\:{by}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}\:{and}\:\mathrm{9}\:.{find}\:{the}\:{sum}\:{of}\:{all}\:{possible} \\ $$$${value}\:{of}\:\:{a}. \\ $$

b=0 or 5  with b=0:  1200+10a=9n  (133+a)×9+a+3=9n  ⇒a=6  with b=5:  1200+10a+5=9n  (133+a)×9+a+8=9n  ⇒a=1  ⇒Σa=6+1=7  the numer is 1260 or 1215

$${b}=\mathrm{0}\:{or}\:\mathrm{5} \\ $$$${with}\:{b}=\mathrm{0}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{1200}+\mathrm{10}{a}=\mathrm{9}{n} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{133}+{a}\right)×\mathrm{9}+{a}+\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{9}{n} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{a}=\mathrm{6} \\ $$$${with}\:{b}=\mathrm{5}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{1200}+\mathrm{10}{a}+\mathrm{5}=\mathrm{9}{n} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{133}+{a}\right)×\mathrm{9}+{a}+\mathrm{8}=\mathrm{9}{n} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{a}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\Sigma{a}=\mathrm{6}+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{7} \\ $$$${the}\:{numer}\:{is}\:\mathrm{1260}\:{or}\:\mathrm{1215} \\ $$

okay sir how about 9n and b=0 came from.

in the four digit number 12ab  1 means 1000  2 means 200  a means 10a  b means b  12ab≡1000+200+10a+b≡1200+10a+b

$${in}\:{the}\:{four}\:{digit}\:{number}\:\mathrm{12}{ab} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}\:{means}\:\mathrm{1000} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}\:{means}\:\mathrm{200} \\ $$$${a}\:{means}\:\mathrm{10}{a} \\ $$$${b}\:{means}\:{b} \\ $$$$\mathrm{12}{ab}\equiv\mathrm{1000}+\mathrm{200}+\mathrm{10}{a}+{b}\equiv\mathrm{1200}+\mathrm{10}{a}+{b} \\ $$

if a number is divisible by 5, its last  digit must be 0 or 5, i.e. b=0 or 5.  case 1: b=0  (12a0)=1200+10a  this number is divisible by 9, i.e.  it is a multiple of 9, i.e.  1200+10a=9n with n=some integer  1200+10a=133×9+3+9a+a  =9×(133+a)+(a+3)  such that it is a multiple of 9,  (a+3) must be 9, i.e. a=6    case 2: b=5  now you can figure it out by yourself.
