Answer: Option
Explanation:
Numbers from 1 to 60, which are divisible by 6 are : 6,12,18, 24, 30, 36,42, 48, 54, 60.
There are 10 such numbers.
Numbers from 1 to 60, the sum of whose digits is 6 are : 6, 15, 24, 33, 42, 51, 60.
There are 7 such numbers of which 4 are common to the above ones. So, there are 3such uncommon numbers.
Numbers from 1 to 60, which have 6 as one of the digits are 6, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 60.
Clearly, there are 4 such uncommon numbers.
So, numbers 'not connected with 6' = 60 - (10 + 3 + 4) = 43.
