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.

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

22 it is divisible by 11 so answer is D.

@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.

No, @Abhi.
Because 2+0+9 = 11.
Which is divisible by 11.

Example:
415624
Position (from right) Digit Position Type
1 4 Odd
2 2 Even
3 6 Odd
4 5 Even
5 1 Odd
6 4 Even
Odd positions: 4, 6, 1

Even positions: 2, 5, 4
sum(odd positions) − sum(even positions)

If that difference is 0 or divisible by 11, the number is divisible by 11.
