If 3x + 7y is a multiple of 11, then which of the following is divisible by 11?

4x + 6y
4x − 9y
9x + 4y
x + y + 4

Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 4x − 9y

1. Given 3x + 7y ≡ 0 (mod 11). 2. Multiply both sides by 4: 12x + 28y ≡ 0 → x + 6y ≡ 0 → 4x + 24y ≡ 0 → 4x + 2y ≡ 0 (mod 11). Also 4x − 9y has 4x ≡ -2y so 4x − 9y ≡ -2y − 9y = -11y ≡ 0. 3. Therefore 4x − 9y is divisible by 11. _Source: KMAT Karnataka 2021 PYQ Q.34_
