56 minus a multiple of 5, (5 n in this case) will have 6 or 1 at unit's place if 56 > 5 n; but it would have 9 or 4 at unit's place if 56 < 5 n. Hence, 1, 4, 6, and 9 are the possibilities for the unit's place of the answer of |56 - 5n|, and only [spoiler]9[/spoiler] is there in the choices.mgmt_gmat wrote:If n is a positive integer, which of the following is a possible value of |56 - 5n|?
