Q:

476 ** 0 is divisible by both 3 and 11.The non zero digits in the hundred's and ten's places are respectively:

A) 6 and 2 B) 8 and 2
C) 6 and 5 D) 8 and 5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8 and 5

Explanation:

Let the number  be 476ab0 

 

476ab0 is divisible by 3 

=> 4 + 7 + 6 + a + b + 0 is divisible by 3

=> 17 + a + b is divisible by 3 ------------------------(i)

 

476ab0 is divisible by 11

[(4 + 6 + b) -(7 + a + 0)] is 0 or divisible by 11

=> [3 + (b - a)] is 0 or divisible by 11  --------------(ii)

 

Substitute the values of a and b with the values given in the choices and select the values which satisfies both Equation 1 and Equation 2.

 

if a=6 and b=2, 

17 + a + b = 17 + 6 + 2 = 25 which is not divisible by 3 --- Does not meet equation(i).Hence this is not the answer

 

if a=8 and b=2, 

17 + a + b = 17 + 8 + 2 = 27 which is divisible by 3 --- Meet equation(i)

[3 + (b - a)] = [3 + (2 - 8)] = -3 which is neither 0 nor divisible by 11---Does not meet equation(ii).Hence this is not the answer

 

if a=6 and b=5, 

17 + a + b = 17 + 6 + 5 = 28 which is not divisible by 3 --- Does not meet equation (i) .Hence this is not the answer

 

 

if a=8 and b=5, 

17 + a + b = 17 + 8 + 5 = 30 which is divisible by 3 --- Meet equation 1

[3 + (b - a)] = [3 + (5 - 8)] = 0 ---Meet equation 2

Since these values satisfies both equation 1 and equation 2, this is the answer
