(i) How many two digit numbers are divisible by

    \[3\]

? (ii) Find the number of natural numbers between

    \[101\]

and

    \[999\]

which are divisible by both

    \[2\]

and

    \[5\]

.

The two digits numbers divisible by

    \[3\]

are,

    \[12,\text{ }15,\text{ }18,\text{ }21,\text{ }24,\ldots ..,99\]

.

The above numbers are A.P.

So, first number a =

    \[12\]

Common difference d =

    \[15\text{ }\text{ }12\text{ }=\text{ }3\]

Then, last number is

    \[99\]

We know that, T(last number) = a + (n – 1)d

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} 99\text{ }=\text{ }12\text{ }+\text{ }\left( n\text{ }\text{ }1 \right)3  \\ 99\text{ }=\text{ }12\text{ }+\text{ }3n\text{ }\text{ }3  \\ 99\text{ }=\text{ }9\text{ }+\text{ }3n  \\ 99\text{ }\text{ }9\text{ }=\text{ }3n  \\ 3n\text{ }=\text{ }90  \\ n\text{ }=\text{ }90/3  \\ n\text{ }=\text{ }30  \\ \end{array}\]

Therefore,

    \[30\]

two digits number are divisible by

    \[3\]

.


(ii) Find the number of natural numbers between

    \[101\]

and

    \[999\]

which are divisible by both

    \[2\]

and

    \[5\]

.

Solution:-

The natural numbers which are divisible by both

    \[2\]

and

    \[5\]

are

    \[110,\text{ }120,\text{ }130,\text{ }140,\text{ }\ldots .,999\]

The above numbers are A.P.

So, first number a =

    \[110\]

Common difference d =

    \[120\text{ }\text{ }110\text{ }=\text{ }10\]

Then, last number is

    \[999\]

We know that,

    \[{{T}_{n}}\]

(last number) = a + (n – 1)d

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} 999\text{ }=\text{ }110\text{ }+\text{ }\left( n\text{ }\text{ }1 \right)10  \\ 999\text{ }=\text{ }110\text{ }+\text{ }10n\text{ }\text{ }10  \\ 999\text{ }=\text{ }100\text{ }+\text{ }10n  \\ 999\text{ }\text{ }100\text{ }=\text{ }10n  \\ 10n\text{ }=\text{ }888  \\ n\text{ }=\text{ }888/10  \\ n\text{ }=\text{ }88  \\ \end{array}\]

The number of natural numbers which are divisible by both

    \[2\]

and

    \[5\]

 are

    \[88\]
