Sum of a two-digit number and the number obtained by reversing the digits is always divisible by?


Given :

The given statement is 'The sum of a two-digit number and the number obtained by reversing the digits'.

To do :

We have to find the sum is always divisible by which number.

Solution :

Let the two digit number be $10x+y$.

The number obtained by reversing the digits is $10y+x$.

The sum of the two digit number and the number obtained by reversing the digits is,

$(10x+y)+(10y+x)=10x+x+10y+y$

                             $=11x+11y$

                             $=11(x+y)$

$11(x+y) = 11 \times (x+y)$

 

Therefore, the sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by reversing the digits is always divisible by 11.
