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. |
