Solution : Given, Five-digit number 235xy is divisible by 3, 7, and 11 Divisibility rule of 3: The sum of its digit is divisible by 3. Divisibility rule of 7: To make a pair of 3 from the unit digits then subtract the leftover pair, The result is divisible by 7. Divisibility rule of 11: The difference between the sum of an odd place and an even place is zero or multiples of 11. The result is divisible by 11. 235xy ⇒ For 3, $x$ + $y$ = 2, 5, 8, 11 ⇒ For 11, (7 + $y$) - (3 + $x$) = 0 or 11 ⇒ $y$ = 2 then $x$ = 6, $x$ + $y$ = 8 ⇒ For 7, 562 - 023 = 539 it is also divisible by 7 ⇒ number = 23562 and $x$ = 6, $y$ = 2 now, ⇒ 3$x$ - 4$y$ = 18 - 8 = 10 Hence, the correct answer is 10.
