Question 54

Which of the following numbers is completely divisible by 99?

Solution

For a number to be divisible by 99, it must be divisible by 9 and 11

(A) : 51579 = 5 + 1 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 27 which is divisible by 9. This number is also divisible by 11.

(B) : 51557 = 5 + 1 + 5 + 5 + 7 = 23 which is not divisible by 9

(C) : 55036 = 5 + 5 + 0 + 3 + 6 = 19 which is not divisible by 9

(D) : 49984 = 4 + 9 + 9 + 8 + 4 = 34 which is not divisible by 9

Thus, only option (A) is divisible by 99
