A) 0
B) 1
C) 2
D) 5
E) 9

Rationale: "the given number = 209 y 913 sum of the odd places = 3 + 9 + 9 + 2 = 23 sum of the even places = 1 + y + 0 ( sum of the odd places ) - ( sum of even places ) = number ( exactly divisible by 11 ) 23 - ( 1 + y ) = divisible by 11 22 � y = divisible by 11 . y must be 0 , to make given number divisible by 11 . a"
Answer: A
