Question
How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 3?
✓
Answer
The two digit numbers divisible by 3 are as follows: 12, 15, 18, 21, ...., 99 Clearly, this form an A.P with first term a = 12 and common difference d = 3 Last term = nth term = 99 The general term of an A.P is given by $t_n=a+(n-1) d$ $\Rightarrow$ 99 12 + (n - 1)(3) $\Rightarrow$ 99 = 12 + 3n - 3 $\Rightarrow$ 90 = 3n $\Rightarrow$ n = 30 Thus 30 two-digit numbers are divisible by 3.
