Solution

The correct option is A

True


Proof:- If a is divisible by x and gives quotient m then:

a=m×x

Similarly if b is divisible by x and gives quotient n

b=n×x

c=o×x

d=p×x

Adding all the numbers

(a + b + c + d) = mx + nx + ox + px

(a + b + c + d) = x (m + n + o + p) + 0

∴ Remainder = 0.

So, a + b + c + d is also divisible by x .
