Which one of the following numbers is exactly divisible by 11?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
(4 + 5 + 2) - (1 + 6 + 3) = 1, not divisible by 11.
(2 + 6 + 4) - (4 + 5 + 2) = 1, not divisible by 11.
(4 + 6 + 1) - (2 + 5 + 3) = 1, not divisible by 11.
(4 + 6 + 1) - (2 + 5 + 4) = 0, So, 415624 is divisible by 11.

To check whether a number is divisible by 11, sum the digits in the odd positions counting from the left (the first, third, ....) and then sum the remaining digits. If the difference between the two sums is divisible by 11, then so is the original number. Otherwise it is not.
Why does this work?
I have tried to work it out. My solutions are:
1) if the answer for the subtraction is 0, it is divisible.
2) if the answer for the subtraction is not 0, it is not divisible.

Is this method applicable for all dividing numbers?

@ Ali
No its just for 11..
The difference b/w odd and even numbers total should be 0, 11 or multiple of 11 i.e. 22, 484 etc.

odd places - even places will not come because for example 4+6+1 is an odd place
