  • Question
  • If x and y are positive integers such that (3x + 7y) is a multiple of 11, then which of the following will be divisible by 11?


  • Options
  • A. 4x + 6y
  • B. x + y + 4
  • C. 9x + 4y
  • D. 4x - 9y

  • Correct Answer
  • 4x - 9y  

    Explanation
    By hit and trial, we put x = 5 and y = 1 so that (3 x + 7 y ) = (3 x 5 + 7 x 1) = 22, which is divisible by 11.

    ∴ (4x + 6y) = ( 4 x 5 + 6 x 1) = 26, which is not divisible by 11;

    (x + y + 4 ) = (5 + 1 + 4) = 10, which is not divisible by 11;

    (9x + 4y) = (9 x 5 + 4 x 1) = 49, which is not divisible by 11;

    (4x - 9y) = (4 x 5 - 9 x 1) = 11, which is divisible by 11.
