Problem

The six-digit number $\underline{2}\,\underline{0}\,\underline{2}\,\underline{1}\,\underline{0}\,\underline{A}$ is prime for only one digit $A.$ What is $A?$

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 3 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 5 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 7 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 9$

Solution

By divisibility rules, when $A=1,$ the number $202101$ is divisible by $3.$ When $A=3,$ the number $202103$ is divisible by $11.$ When $A=5,$ the number $202105$ is divisible by $5.$ When $A=7,$ the number $202107$ is divisible by $3.$ Thus, by the process of elimination we have that the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(E)}\ 9}.$
