If there are 11 containers and 562,156 apples, how many apples should be removed to equally distribute them across the containers? Pick:
A) 5
B) 0
C) 1
D) 8
E) 3
Given:   There are 11 containers   This means, the total number of apples should be divisible by 11   Take the alternating sum of the digits in the number, read from left to right. If that is divisible by 11, so is the original number.   562156 =&gt; (5+2+5) - (6+1+6) = 12-13 = -1 which is not divisible by 11   The closest divisible number to -1(or 1) is 0, thus we remove 1 apple   So By removing 1 apple we make the total 562155 =&gt; (5+2+5)-(6+1+5)=
