Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 12

GIVEN:

A number 6x54y is completely divisible by both 9 and 11.

CALCULATION:

Divisibility by 9 : If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 9, then the number is divisible by 9.

Sum of digits = 6 + x + 5 + 4 + y = (15 + x + y)

Possible value of ‘x + y’ = 2 and 12

Divisibility by 11: If the difference between the sum of the odd-numbered digits and the sum of the even-numbered digits, counted from right to left, is divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11.

(6 + 5 + y) – (x + 4) = (7 + y – x)

Possible value of ‘y – x’ = 4

Since difference between ‘x’ and ‘y’ is 4 so, its sum cannot be 2.

Hence, sum of ‘x’ and ‘y’ = 12
