If 7364x is divisible by 11, what will be the value of x?1. 72. 63. 54. 4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 5

Given:

Number = 7364x

Number divisible by 11

Concept used:

Divisibility rule of 11:  When the difference between the sum of alternate digits of a number is either 0 or divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11.

Calculation:

Let’s add the alternate digits of the given number.

7 + 6 + x = y

3 + 4 = 7

Difference between the two = y – 7

(7 + 6 + x) – 7 = multiple of 11 = 0 (least multiple of 11)

⇒ 6 + x = 0

⇒ x = -6

As we can not have a negative value for x in the number, we subtract 6 from 11 to get the positive value of x.

x = 11 – 6 = 5 

For the number to be divisible by 11 the value of x must be 5.
