Hi
We can write G= \(1*10^1^0^0\) or \(1000*10^9^7\)
Now evaluating all the component number
\(\frac{G}{8}\) =\(\frac{1000*10^9^7}{8}\) =\(125 * 10^9^7\).
\(\frac{G}{5}\) =\(\frac{1000*10^9^7}{5}\) =\(200 * 10^9^7\).
\(\frac{G}{4}\) =\(\frac{1000*10^9^7}{4}\) =\(250 * 10^9^7\).
\(\frac{G}{2}\) =\(\frac{1000*10^9^7}{2}\) =\(500 * 10^9^7\).
Adding them up, we have
\(1075 * 10^9^7\).
Thus sum of digits are 1+0+7+5 =13. Hence option A is correct.

G = 10^100
We can rewrite this as follows: G = (10^3)(10^97)
Or we can say G = (1000)(10^97)
So, G/8 = (1000)(10^97)/8 = (125)(10^97)
G/5 = (1000)(10^97)/5 = (200)(10^97)
G/4 = (1000)(10^97)/4 = (250)(10^97)
G/2 = (1000)(10^97)/2 = (500)(10^97)
So, G/8 + G/5 + G/4 + G/2 = (125)(10^97) + (200)(10^97) + (250)(10^97) + (500)(10^97)
= (10^97)(125 + 200 + 250 + 500)
= (10^97)(1075)
This evaluates to be 1075 followed by 97 zeros
So, the sum of the digits = 1 + 0 + 7 + 5 + a bunch of zeros
= 13
