Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Looking at the four numbers, I need to identify what makes one different from the others.

Let me check the sum of digits for each number:

For 3085: 3+0+8+5=163 + 0 + 8 + 5 = 16

For 9900: 9+9+0+0=189 + 9 + 0 + 0 = 18

For 5116: 5+1+1+6=135 + 1 + 1 + 6 = 13

For 8179: 8+1+7+9=258 + 1 + 7 + 9 = 25


A number is divisible by 9 if and only if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

Checking each sum:

  • 16 is not divisible by 9
  • 18 is divisible by 9
  • 13 is not divisible by 9
  • 25 is not divisible by 9

9900 is the only number divisible by 9.

Therefore, the different one is Option 2.
