Let 'abcdef' is a 6-digit number.
sum of a 6-digit number and the number formed by reversing its digits= 100000(a+f)+10000(b+e)+1000(c+d)+100(c+d)+10(b+e)+(a+f)

Hence we can notice that difference between Hundred-thousands digit and unit digit can be 0 (if b+e<10), or 1 (if b+e>9).

In option D difference between Hundred-thousands digit and unit digit is 9-7=2
hence 951467 can never be the sum of a 6-digit number and the number formed by reversing its digits.

The following was my line of argument

77777-this can be formed by 333444 reversal and addition
Similarly
999999- This can be formed by 666333 reversal and addition

951467
This number has 1 in the center which can be only formed by the addition of 0 and 1 however this is coming at the third position when it's reversed it trades the position and both the third and fourth position should yield 1 since 0+1 also has to be taken into accounr which is not the case

Hence IMO D
Experts do comment if it's right
