Given, 30a68b is divisible by 11.
$$\Rightarrow$$Â Â (3 + a + 8) - (0 + 6 + b) will be multiple of 11.
$$\Rightarrow$$Â (a - b + 5) will be multiple of 11.
$$\Rightarrow$$Â Â (a - b + 5) = 0 or (a - b + 5) = 11 or (a - b + 5) = 22 so on.
$$\Rightarrow$$ a - b = -5 or a - b = 6 or a - b = 17 so on.
Since a > b, a - b cannot be negative.
Both a and b are digits, so a - b cannot be a two digit number.
The only possibility isÂ
a - b = 6
The pairs satisfying the above equation are (9,3), (8,2), (7,1), (6,0).
The greatest value of b can be 3.
Hence, the correct answer is Option C
