    Which of the following numbers is completely divisible by 99?

    A)  51579

    B)  51557

    C)  55036

    D)  49984

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    A number is divisible by 99 if it is divisible by 9 and 11. A number is divisible by 9, if sum of its digits is divisible by 9. A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between sum of digits at odd and even places is either zero or a multiple of 11.             \[51579\Rightarrow 5+1+5+7+9\] = 27 which is divisible by 9. Again, \[(9+5+5)-(7+1)=19-8=11\]
