Answer

According to the divisibility of 9, if the sum of the digits of the number is divisible by 9 then the number is divisible by 9.

∵ 3z4 is divisible by 9

⇒ 3 + z + 4 is divisible by 9

⇒ 7 + z is divisible by 9

⇒ 7 + z = 0 , 9 , 18 , 27 , 36, ……………

⇒ z = -7 , 2 , 11 , 20, ……………

Since z is a digit. So, z = 2.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
