The number 97215*6 is completely divisible by 11. What is the smallest whole number in place of * ?
Options:
A .  4
B .  2
C .  1
D .  3
Answer: Option D

Answer : Option D

Explanation :


From the above given "Divisibility by 11 rule", it is clear that
if 97215*6 is divisible by 11, then (9 + 2 + 5 + 6) - (7 + 1 + *) is divisible by 11
=> 22 - (8 + *) is divisible by 11
=> (14 - *) is divisible by 11
The smallest whole number which can be substituted in the place of * to satisfy the
above equation is 3 such that 14 - 3 = 11 and 11 is divisible by 11.
Hence the answer is 3
