Correct Answer: neither divisible by 3 nor by 11


Solution : The sum of the digits of the number 1563241234351
$=1\ +\ 5\ +\  6\ +\ 3\ +\ 2\ +\ 4\ +\  1\ +\ 2\ +\ 3\ +\ 4\ +\  3\ +\ 5\ +\ 1$
$= 40$
As we know, 40 is not divisible by 3 so the number is not divisible by 3.
Now check divisibility rule 11
$(5\ +\ 3\ +\  4\ +\ 2\ +\ 4\ +\ 5) -\  (1\ +\ 6\ +\ 2\ +\ 1\ +\  3\ +\ 3\ +\ 1)$
$=23\ - 17$
$ =6$
As we know, 6 is not a multiple of 11.
So, the number is neither divisible by 3 nor 11.
Hence, the correct answer is neither divisible by 3 nor by 11.
