If a number is divisible by both 11 and 13, then it must be:

  1. A
    divisible by (11×13)
  2. B
    divisible by 42
  3. C
    divisible by (11+13)
  4. D
    divisible by (13−11)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

If a number is divisible by two coprime numbers a and b, then it must also be divisible by their product (a×b).
Since 11 and 13 are both prime numbers, their highest common factor (HCF) is 1, which means they are coprime.

Therefore, if a number is divisible by both 11 and 13, it must be divisible by their product, i.e., (11×13).
