Answer:-

0 can never be the single number which appears finally.

Reason:-

We can see that the three numbers among the five, written on the blackboard, are odd numbers and the other two are even numbers. \quad

We must know that,

  • Difference between two odd numbers is always an even number.

  • Difference between two even numbers is always an even number.

  • Difference between an odd number and an even number is always an odd number.

So if we take the difference of the five numbers in the blackboard to get a single number in any possible way, we always get an odd number.

odd - odd - odd - even - even = odd

even - even - odd - odd - odd = odd

But, unfortunately, 0 is not an odd number.

Hence 0 can't be the single number.
