Which one of the following numbers is exactly divisible by 11?
235641
245642
315624
415624
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.

If sum of all digit will be divisible by 11, the answer will be correct.
Ans=D
4+1+5+6+2+4=22
22 is divisible by11.
(7)

2+3+5+6+4+1=21 not divisible by 11.

Calculate all given options as the same.
23 not ÷ 11.
21 not ÷ 11.

22 it is divisible by 11 so answer is D.

What we'll do when we get odd no of digits?

Take the number and add all the even positions of the number and odd positions of the number then subtract those two.

@Amit.

Method which you tried is entirely different.

It is not suitable for all no's. but for finding the / by 3 is correct. if (even position no sum)-(odd position no sum) = 0 or 11 then it will be divisible by 11.

Sum of digits = (4 + 1 + 5 + 6 + 2 + 4) = 22, which must be divisible by 11.
So answer is 415624.

2+3+5+6+4+1 = 21/11.
2+4+5+6+4+2 = 25/11.
3+1+5+6+2+4 = 21/11.
4+1+5+6+2+4 = 22/11 = 2 it is divisible.

Alternative numbers sum and take their difference. if the difference is 0 or divisible by 11.

Then that numbers are divisible by 11. that means,

eg:415624.

4+5+2 = 11.
1+6+4 = 11.

then difference = 11-11 = 0.

divisible by 11.

If we take any number. We got answer.

2+3+5+6+4+1 = 21/11.
2+4+5+6+4+2 = 25/11.
3+1+5+6+2+4 = 21/11.
4+1+5+6+2+4 = 22/11 = 2 it is divisible by 11.
