The difference of a four-digit number and any number formed by permuting its digits would always be divisible by
Explanation:
Let the four-digit number contain digits a, b, c or d.
When we write it in expanded form the digits will have one of these 4 coefficients 1000, 100, 10 or 1.
Now the difference of any two of these coefficients will always be divisible by 9.
Hence, the difference of a 4-digit number and the number formed by permuting its digits would always be divisible by 9.
Hence, option (d).
