Which of the following number is divisible by 11?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 9196.
Divisibility of 11: The difference between the sum of the digits at the odd places and even places is either 0 or multiple of 11, then the number is divisible by 11.
According to the given options,
1. 1442
Sum of digits at odd places = 1 + 4 = 5
Sum of digits at even places = 4 + 2 = 6
Difference = 5 - 6 = -1 (not divisible)
2. 9196
Sum of digits at odd places = 9 + 9 = 18
Sum of digits at even places = 1 + 6 = 7
Difference = 18 - 7 = 11 (divisible)
Hence the required answer is 9196.
