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.

3. option not

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

@ 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.
