Solution

Let xyz is a number.
From the question, we have to check for xyzzyx
xyzzyx=(100x+10y+z)(100z+10y+x)=99x99z=99(xz)
Which is always divisible by 99, that is by both 9 and 11, because 99=9×11
Hence the difference of three and the number obtained by putting a digits in reverse order is always divisible by 9 and 11.
