    (ii) and (iii)
  3. C
    (i) and (ii)
  4. D
    (i) and (iii)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of its digits at odd positions and the sum of its digits at even positions is either 0 or a multiple of 11.
Let's test each number:

(i) 29435417
Sum of digits at odd places (from right): 7+4+3+9=23
Sum of digits at even places (from right): 1+5+4+2=12
Difference = 23−12=11 (Divisible by 11)

(ii) 57463828
Sum of digits at odd places (from right): 8+8+6+7=29
Sum of digits at even places (from right): 2+3+4+5=14
Difference = 29−14=15 (Not divisible by 11)

(iii) 57463824
Sum of digits at odd places (from right): 4+8+6+7=25
Sum of digits at even places (from right): 2+3+4+5=14
Difference = 25−14=11 (Divisible by 11)

(iv) 29435416
Sum of digits at odd places (from right): 6+4+3+9=22
Sum of digits at even places (from right): 1+5+4+2=12
Difference = 22−12=10 (Not divisible by 11)

Thus, numbers (i) and (iii) are divisible by 11.
