Permutation of its digits is a multiple of 11.

Eg: 121 is a multiple so the set includes 112,121,211

Multiples of 11 between 100 and 999:

110 is the 990 is the least and greatest multiple in the range

No. of multiples = (990-110)/11 +1 = 81

So the maximum number of integers the set can have = 81*3 = 243

Eliminate C,D,E

For multiples of 10, only two permutations are possible

Eg: 990 --> 909,990

So, subtract 9 from 243 = 234

Eliminate B


Ans is A

What about 132? it has 6 combinations. Why did we consider 121 to get to a maximum of 243?

Note that other than numbers such as 121 (2 digits same), you will also have numbers such as 132 which are multiples of 11 (all digits distinct). You can write these in 3! ways = 6 ways. But here, one way is 231 which is another multiple of 3 so in effect, each multiple will get 3 distinct ways.
Hence your logic works in each case.

Here i guess there is a typo. 'But here, one way is 231 which is another multiple of 11 so in effect, each multiple will get 3 distinct ways.'
