• A. 0
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 3

Hint:

To find the difference between sums of odd and even digits, separate the digits first, sum each group, and then subtract.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The number is 857423. The odd digits are 5, 7, 3. The sum of the odd digits is: \[ 5 + 7 + 3 = 15 \] The even digits are 8, 4, 2. The sum of the even digits is: \[ 8 + 4 + 2 = 14 \] The difference between the sum of the odd digits and the sum of the even digits is: \[ 15 - 14 = 1 \] Thus, the difference is 1.
