Given:

x3331

Concept used:

If the difference of the sum of alternative digits of a number is divisible by 11, then that number is divisible by 11 completely.

Calculation:

Difference between the sum of the digits at alternate places of x3331

⇒ (x + 3 + 1) - (3 + 3)

⇒ x + 4 - 6

⇒ x - 2

Now, x can only be 2 which makes (x - 2) = 0 which is divisible by 11. (∵ x can be any integer starting from 1 to 9)

So, x = 2

∴ The face value of x is 2.
