Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option4 i.e. 8 and 5

If the number 476 ** 0 is divisible by both 3 and 11

Let the hundredth and tenth-place values be x and y respectively

For divisible by 3 

4 + 7+ 6 + x + y + 0 = 17 + x + y is also  divisible by 3

For divisible by 11

(4 + 6 + y) - (7 + x + 0) = 3 + y - x  is also divisible by 11

Hence,

x = 8, and y = 5
