Which of the following numbers is divisible by 99?

  • A.114345
  • B.135792
  • C.357240
  • D.913464

Answer: A

For a number to be divisible by 99, it must be divisible by both 9 and 11.

Let's check option A: 114345.

1. Divisibility by 9: Sum of digits = \(1+1+4+3+4+5 = 18\). Since 18 is divisible by 9, the number is divisible by 9.

2. Divisibility by 11: Sum of alternate digits are \((5+3+1)=9\) and \((4+4+1)=9\). The difference is \(9-9=0\). Since the difference is 0, the number is divisible by 11.

Since 114345 is divisible by both 9 and 11, it is divisible by 99.
