Solution

(i) The Divisibility Rule of 11 is The alternative sum of the digits of Number is divisible by 11
(ii) for divisible by 7 Take the last digit of the number, double it Then subtract the result from the rest of the number If the resulting number is evenly divisible by 7, so is the original number.
Let the 3 digit number be abc and writing it two times we get =abcabc
Now, abc×1001=abcabc
hence, 1001 is a factor of abcabc
and 1001 is divisible by both 7 and 11 (as 1002=98 applying (i) again 9(82)=7 which is divisible by 7
and Applying (ii)10+01=0 which is divisible by 11)
Therefore 1001 is divisible by 11 and 7
Hence we can see that whatever be the value of abc, abcabc is always be divisible by 7 and 11
