How many 3-digit numbers are completely divisible 6 ?
149
150
151
166
Answer: Option
Explanation:

3-digit number divisible by 6 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 tn = 996.

a + (n - 1)d = 996

102 + (n - 1) x 6 = 996

6 x (n - 1) = 894

(n - 1) = 149

n = 150

Number of terms = 150.

My idea is;

1+4+9=14.

1+5+0=6.

1+5+1=7.

1+6+6=13.

So, according to me, here 6 only can be purely divisible by 6.

Number is divided by 6 only when it is perfectly divided by 2 and 3 both.

So Only 150 is divided by both 2 and 3.

Divisibility rule of 6.

A no. is divisible by 6 if the no. is even and sum of digit is divisible by 3.

6 = 2 * 3 which are co-actors, then the number divisible by these two will also divisible by 6.

999/6 = 166 ignore remainder.

99/6 = 16 ignore remainder.

Now, 166-16 = 150 answer.

If no is divisible by 3 and 2 then it is easily divisible by 6.
