  1. The difference of a number consisting of two digits from the number formed by interchanging the digits is always divisible by
    1. 10
    2. 9
    3. 11
    4. 6
Correct Option: B

Let the number be 10p + q
where q < p.
Number obtained by interchanging the digits = 10q + p
∴  Difference = 10p + q – 10q – p
Difference = 9p – 9q = 9 (p – q)
Hence, the difference is always
exactly divisible by 9.
