Solution

A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of the alternate digits is 0 or a multiple of 11.

For the number 467*91 to be divisible by 11

Difference between the sum of the alternate digits=4+7+9-6+*+1=20-*+7=13-*

Observe that when *=2, then the difference between the sum of the alternate digits will become 11, which is multiple of 11.

Hence, the * will replace by 2.
