If the two-digit integers M and N are positive and have the same digits, but in reverse order, which of the following cannot be the sum of M and N

Let the unit's digit of M be m
So, its tens digit becomes m
Therefre, M can be written as M = 10m + m = 11m
Similarly, let the unit's digit of N be n
So, its tens digit becomes n
Therefre, N can be written as N = 10n + n = 11n

Now, M + N = 11m + 11n = 11 (m+n)

Therefore, all the options should be a multiple of 11.
Only 181 is not a multiple of 11 among the given options. Therefore, answer is option A.
