Question

Which of the following numbers is divisible by 11?

• A. 1629
• B. 1785
• C. 1595
• D. 1444

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1595

For a number to be divisible by 11, we add the numbers at odd places and even places and subtract the sums. If the answer is 0 or divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11.

$1595:(5+5)-(9+1)=0$

$1629:(9+6)-(2+1)=15-3=12$

$1785:(5+7)-(8+1)=12-9=3$

$1444:(4+4)-(4+1)=8-5=3$

$\therefore$ In the given options, only 1595 is divisible by 11.
