A number consists of two digits. If the digits interchange places and the new number is added to the original number, the resulting number will be divisible by:

  • A.9
  • B.11
  • C.5
  • D.3

Answer: B

Let the two-digit number be 10x + y, where x is the ten's digit and y is the unit's digit.

The reversed number is 10y + x.

Their sum is \((10x + y) + (10y + x) = 11x + 11y\).

Sum = 11(x + y).

Since the sum is a multiple of 11, it will always be divisible by 11.
