How many 3 digit numbers are divisible by 6 in all ?
A. 149 B. 150
C. 151 D. 166
Answer and Explanation
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Required numbers are 102, 108, 114, ... , 996

This is an A.P. in which a = 102, d = 6 and l = 996

Let the number of terms be n.

Then, a + (n - 1)d = 996

102 + (n - 1) x 6 = 996

6 x (n - 1) = 894

(n - 1) = 149

n = 150.

A 3-digit number 4a3 is added to another 3-digit number 984 to give a 4-digit number 13b7, which is divisible by 11. Then, (a + b) = ?

A. 10 B. 11
C. 12 D. 15
Answer and Explanation
Answer: Option A
Explanation:

4 a 3 |

9 8 4 } ==> a + 8 = b ==> b - a = 8

13 b 7 |

Also, 13 b7 is divisible by 11 (7 + 3) - (b + 1) = (9 - b)

(9 - b) = 0

b = 9

(b = 9 and a = 1) (a + b) = 10.
