Problem 21
The -digit numbers
and
are each multiples of
. Which of the following could be the value of
?
Solution 2
Since both numbers are divisible by 3, the sum of their digits has to be divisible by three. . To be a multiple of
,
has to be either
or
or
... and so on. We add up the numerical digits in the second number;
. We then add two of the selected values,
to
, to get
. We then see that C =
or
... and so on, otherwise the number will not be divisible by three. We then add
to
, to get
, which shows us that C =
or
or
... and so on. To be a multiple of three, we select a few of the common numbers we got from both these equations, which could be
and
. However, in the answer choices, there is no
or
or anything greater than
, but there is a
, so
is our answer.
