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.

By sum of all digits can be divisible by 11 also we can calculate.

1. option sum is 21 so it is not divisible with 11
2. option not
3. option not
4. option sum is 22 is divisible by 11

So ans is 4.option

@saurabh.
2+3+5+6+4=20 which is not exactly divisible by 11. It is exactly divisible by 2,5,10,20...

@Arjun.
You are wrong.

EX- if you take 209/11.

Then your logic is wrong.

Because 2+0+9=11, and 11/11=1.

And I request you don't post wrong information because many peoples are confused with this type of example.

Hope you understand.
