Question

Which of the following number is divisible by $11$.

• A. $74,396$
• B. $45,703$
• C. $60,390$
• D. $98,498$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $60,390$

$\Rightarrow$ Divisibility rule of 11 : The sum of the even digits is subtracted from the sum of the odd digits. The result is either 0 or divisible by 11.

$\Rightarrow$ $74,396=(7+3+6)-(4+9)=16-13=3$; So, $74,396$ is not divisible by 11.

$\Rightarrow$ $45,703=(4+7+3)-(5+0)=14-5=9$; So, $45,703$ is not divisible by 11.

$\Rightarrow$ $60,390=(6+3)-9=9-9=0$; So,$60,390$ is divisible by $11$.

$\Rightarrow$ $98,498=(9+4+8)-(8+9)=21-17=4$; So, $98,498$ is not divisible by 11.

$\therefore$ Number which is divisible by 11 is $60,390.$
