Write the smallest digit and the largest digit in the blanks space of each of the following numbers so that the number formed is divisibly by 11: (a) 92 __________ 389 (b) 8 __________ 9484

(a) We know that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the digits
at odd places and that of even places should be either 0 or 11.
Therefore, 928389 → Odd places = 9 + 8 + 8 = 25
Even places = 2 + 3 + 9 = 14
Difference = 25 – 14 = 11
(b) We know that a number is divisible by 11 if the difference of the sum of the digits
at odd places and that of even places should be either 0 or 11.
Therefore, 869484 → Odd places = 8 + 9 + 8 = 25
Even places = 6 + 4 + 4 = 14
Difference = 25 – 14 = 11
