ABBBBBB.....BA. let there r n B in bwn 2 A so total no of A and B will be.(2+n) if no. of B,s in bwn even then this no. will always will be devisible by 11.
eg. 1221, 25555552,.....
so either no. of B'S CAN BE EVEN or odd so prob will be 1/2.
now if the n. of B'S are odd lets (2n+1)B.
according to the divisibilty rule of 11 the sum of no.s at even places- the sum of no.at odd places shouldd be either 0 or should be divisible by 11.
so,(2A+nB)-(n+1)B=2A-B= 0 or 11.
for 0 there are four pairs (A,B).
(1,2),(2,4),(3,6),(4,8).
now for 2A-B = 11.
(6,1),(7,3),(8,5),(9,7).
so there are total 8 pairs of A & B.
since A can have 9 values from 1 to 9 (becoz A cannot be zero.) then B can have 8 values ( because A nd B cannot be equal).so total posiible pair of A nd B are 72.
so probabilty in secnd case will be 8/72.
so total probability will be (1/2+8/72).
so ans will be c.

@vikas ---bha ur answer is perfect but what abour this
if the no have odd digit
then probaility must be 1/2*8/72
why dont u mentioning the probsbilty of no being odd ie 1/2.
