What is the smallest number which can be added to 9454351626 so that it becomes divisible by 11?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 6.

Divisibility rule for 11 = sum of digits at odd numbers - sum of digits at even numbers should be 0 or divisible by 11

Given number = 9454351626

The sum of digits at odd places = 25

The sum of digits at even places = 20

Difference = 5 

Hence, 11 - 5 = 6 must be added to the number for it to be divisible by 11.
