We need to arrange numbers, such that sum of even placed digits - sum of odd placed digits = 11k or 0. So, only combination, 2+3 = 1+5 is possible. Thus we have to find the number of arrangements of 1243 such that even and odd digits don't change their relative positions. Thus, number of numbers divisible by 11 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 11 = 2\times 2 \times 2 = \boxed{8}
