(3); For being a max. no. if we interchange the no. 1 and 9 then it becomes 9234567810 which is the max. no.
but not divisible by 7.
Now, similarly if we interchange 2 and 9, then it becomes 1934567820 smaller no. but it is also not divisible by
7.
Now, look for the next option (3), interchange 1 & 2, we see here the no. 2134567890 is divisible by 7 (by
Divisibility Rule of 7) so, the required max no. is 2134567890, which is divisible by 7.

Hence total cost of 4 pizzas is not unique considering above case.
Hence total cost cant be determined.

Hence there are four pairs (a, b) = (3, 15) (8, 11) (13, 7) (18, 3)
So this is not sufficient to answer the question.
II. a + b > 19 alone is also not sufficient.
