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.

It is the principle for dividing any No. by 11.

If the difference between odd & even places No. comes 0 or 11 or multiple of 11 i.e. 22, 99, 121 etc. Then the whole No. will be divided by 11.

For example we also have principle for dividing any No. by 2. i.e.the unit place No. is divided by 2 that means the whole No. is divided by 2.

There is another method as well. In the option A, B, C. If you will add all the digits of the given number the result will not be divisible by 11. But if you will add the digits of the number given in option D.

i.e - 415624=4+1+5+6+2+4=22 which is divisible with 11.

This formula is also applicable for any number.

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

2+4+5+6+4+2=23 it is not divisible by 11.

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

4+1+5+6+2+4=22 it is divisible by 11.

Answer:415624.

@abhi.

I think Arjun is right as;

209/11= 19 which is completely devise-able by 11 by leaving no remainder, with short cut method for aptitude as; 2+0+9=11 which is also completely divided by 11.

Divisibility rule:

Form the alternating sum of the digits.

415624 = 4-1+5-6+2-4
= 4+4-4-4
= 8-8
= 0

0 divisible by 11.

So Answer is 415624.

If you take 209/11.

Then your logic.

Because 2+10+9=21,

21 is not divisible.

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.

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.

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