23^2 = 529.
And 529x2 = 1058.
Given 1056, difference = 2.
And 529x2 = 1058.

Hi dude.
We have 4 choices in question paper.
Firs to add 1056+2 = 1058, 1058/23 = 0, we got no remaining in finally.
1056+3 = 1059, 1059/23 = 1 we gotta remaining.
1056+18 = 1074, 1074/23 = 16, same like got remaining.
Finally 1056+21 = 1077, 1077/23 = 19, same like got remaining.
Ans = 2.

@Nikitha please explain it.
But if we divide 1056 by 23, the remainder is 2.
So if 2 is added to the 1056, we get remainder 0.
Therefore solution is 2.

If we do 1056/23. Then remainder = 21.
= 23-21 = 2.
Because to make 23 we have to add 2 in remainder. So we can do 23/23 which is 0.
= 23-21 = 2.

Digital sum method works here:
1056+2 = 1058--- 5 (digital sum).
1056+18 = 1074---3.
1056+3 = 1059-- 6.
1077+21 = 1098--9.
And the digital sum of 23 is 5. So option (A) is correct.

23*46 = 1058.
Therefore if we add 2 to 1056 then it is divisible by 23.
Therefore if we add 2 to 1056 then it is divisible by 23.
