B Correct answer
Explanation

The LCM of 4, 7, and 13 is 364. The greatest four-digit number is 9999. Dividing 9999 by 364 gives 27 with a remainder of 183. 9999 - 183 = 9816. Adding the remainder 3 gives 9819. Checking options, 9831 is not divisible by 364 with remainder 3. 9831 / 4 = 2457 R 3, 9831 / 7 = 1404 R 3, 9831 / 13 = 756 R 3. The calculation 9831 is correct.

D Correct answer
Explanation

For divisibility by 11, the difference between the sums of alternating digits must be a multiple of 11. With total digit sum 31, the required alternating sums would be 21 and 10, but an alternating sum of 21 is impossible for two digits. Therefore, the fraction is 0, which is not listed.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Two-digit numbers with remainder 3 when divided by 7 are of the form 7n + 3. Smallest is 10 (7*1 + 3), largest is 94 (7*13 + 3). This is an arithmetic progression: 10, 17, ..., 94. Number of terms = (94-10)/7 + 1 = 13. Sum = (n/2)(first + last) = (13/2)(10 + 94) = 13/2 * 104 = 13 * 52 = 676.
