Number to be added to 1056 so that the sum is completely divisible by 23.
Calculation:
First, find the remainder when 1056 is divided by 23.
⇒ Remainder = 1056 - (23 × (1056 ÷ 23))
⇒ Remainder = 1056 - (23 × 45)
⇒ Remainder = 1056 - 1035
⇒ Remainder = 21
Number that should be added = 23 - 21 = 2
Therefore, we need to add 2 to 1056 to make it completely divisible by 23.
∴ The correct answer is option 1.
