$$\mathrm{1}. \\ $$$${n}=\mathrm{1000}{a}+\mathrm{100}{a}+\mathrm{10}{b}+{b} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{1100}{a}+\mathrm{11}{b} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{11}\left(\mathrm{100}{a}+{b}\right)\equiv\mathrm{0}\left({mod}\:\mathrm{11}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{100}{a}+{b}=\mathrm{11}{m}^{\mathrm{2}} \geqslant\mathrm{101}\:\Rightarrow{m}\geqslant\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\mathrm{100}{a}+{b}=\mathrm{11}{m}^{\mathrm{2}} \leqslant\mathrm{909}\:\Rightarrow{m}\leqslant\mathrm{9} \\ $$$${b}=\mathrm{11}{m}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{100}{a} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}. \\ $$$${n}=\mathrm{11}^{\mathrm{2}} {m}^{\mathrm{2}} =\left(\mathrm{11}{m}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \:{with}\:\mathrm{4}\leqslant{m}\leqslant\mathrm{9} \\ $$

$$\mathscr{S}{orry}…{please}\:{sir};\:{according}\:{to}\:{the}\: \\ $$$${second}\:{question}\:{why}\:{have}\:{you}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{100}{a}+{b}\leqslant\mathrm{909}\:{and}\:\geqslant\mathrm{101}\:? \\ $$

$$\mathrm{1}\leqslant{a},{b}\leqslant\mathrm{9} \\ $$$$\mathrm{100}{a}+{b}\leqslant\mathrm{100}×\mathrm{9}+\mathrm{9}=\mathrm{909} \\ $$$$\mathrm{100}{a}+{b}\geqslant\mathrm{100}×\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{101} \\ $$
