    The number is 66.

    Solution:

    Let the number be x.

    To find the number x using given conditions.

    Start with the last condition.

    It is less than 7 times 8 + 23 = 7 * 8 + 23 = 79

    So, the number is less than 79 which implies x < 79.

    Using condition (4),

    It is greater than 5 times 4 = 5 * 4 = 20

    So, the number is greater than 79 which implies x > 20.

    Combining condition (4) and (7), we get 20 < x < 79.

    Using condition (3) and (5),

    The number is a multiple of 11 and 6.

    The number which is multiplied by both 11 and 6 is 66, 132, ...

    But here x lies between 20 < x < 79.

    So x = 66.

    66 is not odd number and the sum of the digits is divisible by 2.

    Therefore condition (1) and (2) also satisfied.

    Hence the number is 66.
