Solution
If then since the digit sum of a number below is at most we have
For a two-digit number gives forcing and so A one-digit number would need impossible for A three-digit number gives whose left side is at least while the right side is at most so there is no solution.
Hence exactly one number, works.
Thus, the correct answer is B.
