A. 2
B. 4
C. 6
D. 8
Answers
When writing decimally, any positive integer which is divisible by 11 is in the form,
a/(a+b)/b
where, it's expanded form is,
100a + 10(a + b) + b
for any whole number a and for any positive one-digit integer b
Actually it is,
a/b × 11 = a/(a+b)/b
[Written decimally, means written the number by splitting the digits. Digits are not divided here.]
For getting no. of three digit multiples of 11 ending in 7, we have to take b = 7.
Thus the no. looks like: a/(a+7)/7.
As we see earlier, the one-eleventh of this number is in the form of a/b.
[a/b × 11 = a/(a+b)/b ; a/b = a/(a+b)/b ÷ 11]
Thus, the one-eleventh of these three digit numbers also end in 7.
Hence the nos. are,
- 17 × 11 = 187
- 27 × 11 = 297
- 37 × 11 = 407
- 47 × 11 = 517
- 57 × 11 = 627
- 67 × 11 = 737
- 77 × 11 = 847
- 87 × 11 = 957
But, as 97 × 11 = 1067 is a 4-digit number, it won't include here.
Thus, the total no. of integers which end in 7 and divisible by 11 is 8.
