Question

In the following number, replace M by the smallest number to make resulting number divisible by 11: 70975M

Answer in Brief

Solution

The given number = 70975M
Sum of its digits in odd places = 0 + 7 + M = 7 + M
Sum of its digit in even places = 5 + 9 + 7 = 21
Difference of the two sums = 21 – (7 + M)
=> 21 – (7 + M) = 0
=> 21 = 7 + M
=> M = 14
Since, M cannot be two digit number M = 14 – 11 = 3
