The numbers , 1, 2, 3, 1984 and 1985 are written on a blackboard .
We decide to erase from the blackboard , any two numbers and replace them with their positive difference .
After this is done several times , a single number remains on the blackboard .
Can this number equal 0 ?

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.
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.
