476 ** 0 is divisible by both 3 and 11. The non-zero digits in the hundred's and ten's places are respectively:

Correct Answer: 8 and 5

Explanation:

Let the given number be 476 xy 0.

Then (4 + 7 + 6 + x + y + 0) = (17 + x + y) must be divisible by 3.


And, (0 + x + 7) - (y + 6 + 4) = (x - y -3) must be either 0 or 11.


x - y - 3 = 0   ⟹ y = x - 3


(17 + x + y) = (17 + x + x - 3) = (2x + 14)


x= 2 or x = 8.


x = 8 and y = 5.
