Solution

The correct option is B 26
abcde is a 5 digit no.
abcde=10000a+1000b+100c+10d+e (1)
because, abcde1=3×1abcde
So,=>100000a+10000b+1000c+100d+10e+1=3×(100000+10000a+1000b+100c+10d+e)
=>100000a+10000b+1000c+100d+10e+1=300000+30000a+3000b+300c+30d+3e
=>100000a+10000b+1000c+100d+10e30000a3000b300c30d3e=3000001
=>70000a+7000b+700c+70d+7e=299999
=>7(10000a+1000b+100c+10d+e)=7(42857)
=>10000a+1000b+100c+10d+e=42857
Putting value from 1 we get
abcde=42857
sum of digits = 4+2+8+5+7
=26
