Can you find the largest number possible containing any of 9 of 10 digits, considering 0 also a number, that is divisible by 11 without a reminder?

This was a Brain teaser question, and i have no idea whatsoever why this is the correct answer.

Why not just check all combinations in a computer? It won't take very long.

I guess the idea was to find the biggest 9 digit number divisible by 11 that contains every digit only once.
Although I did't understood at first glance and answered 9999999999.
