D
The number of four digit numbers divisible by 11=(9999−1001)11+1=818+1=819.
A four-digit palindrome can be written as xyyx then, as (x+y) - (y+x) = 0, it is always divisible by 11. For xyyx, x can be chosen from 1 to 9 and y from 0 to 9.
Hence, the number of four-digit palindrome numbers =9×10=90.
∴ The required number = 819 - 90 = 729.
