Answer
In 92*389:
Digits from right: 9, 8, 3, *, 2, 9.
Sum of digits at odd places (from right) = 9 + 3 + 2 = 14.
Sum of digits at even places (from right) = 8 + * + 9 = 17 + *.
Difference = (17 + *) − 14 = 3 + *.
For divisibility by 11, 3 + * = 0 (impossible) or 3 + * = 11 ⇒ * = 8.
Hence, * should be replaced by 8. The number formed is 928389.
