The [arithmetic mean](https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Arithmetic_mean) of the nine numbers in the set $\{9, 99, 999, 9999, \ldots, 999999999\}$ is a $9$-digit number $M$, all of whose digits are distinct. The number $M$ doesn't contain the digit
$\mathrm{(A)}\ 0 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 2 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 4 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 6 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 8$
We wish to find $\frac{9+99+\cdots +999999999}{9}$, or $\frac{9(1+11+111+\cdots +111111111)}{9}=123456789$. This doesn't have the digit 0, so the answer is $\boxed{\mathrm{(A)}\ 0}$
