Given:

Number to be added to 1056 so that the sum is completely divisible by 23.

Calculation:

First, find the remainder when 1056 is divided by 23.

⇒ Remainder = 1056 - (23 × (1056 ÷ 23))

⇒ Remainder = 1056 - (23 × 45)

⇒ Remainder = 1056 - 1035

⇒ Remainder = 21

Number that should be added = 23 - 21 = 2

Therefore, we need to add 2 to 1056 to make it completely divisible by 23.

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
