IMO D

From statment 1 ,sum is 13

It can be like 1138,1237...

For all this the remainder will be 4.

From stmt 2, N+5 is divided by 9.

N can be like 1129,1138......

For all this the remainder will be 4.

So D

From 1
(w + x + y + z)%9=4...for any number the reminder when it is divided by 9 is same as that of the sum of its digits.hence the remainder when N is divided by 9 is 4..sufficient

From 2

if N+5 is divisible by 9, N will have reminder -5 when divided by 9 or the remainder when N is divided by 9 is (9-5)=4..sufficient

Ans option D
