ANSWER   IS   4(option A)
if no. 4m61n2 is divisible by both 11 and 4 then n=1,3,5,7,9 
also , if it has to be divisible by 11 then its ;; sum of every second digit – sum of remainig=0/11
here, (4+6+n)-(m+1+2)=0/11
10+n-3-m=0/11
7+n-m=0/11
so  we get that
                                                      n=1  ,      3    ,5      7    9     
m(m will be +ve as it si a digit in a no.)=8   ,  10     1    3      5
so we get 5 combinations
1,8
3,10
5,1
7,3
9,5
 
but combination 3.10 does not satisfy our need as ‘m‘ can only be a 1 digit no. as it is a single digit . SO THE ANSWER IS 4
