Write the smallest digit and the largest digit in the blanks space of each of the following numbers so that the number formed is divisibly by 11:(a) 92 __________ 389 (b) 8 __________ 9484

Answer»

(a) We know that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the digits at odd places and that of even places should be either 0 or 11.

Therefore, 928389 --> Odd places = 9 + 8 + 8 = 25

Even places = 2 + 3 + 9 = 14

Difference = 25 – 14 = 11

(b) We know that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the digits at odd places and that of even places should be either 0 or 11.

Therefore, 869484 --> Odd places = 8 + 9 + 8 = 25

Even places = 6 + 4 + 4 = 14

Difference = 25 – 14 = 11
