Question 73

Which of the following numbers is divisible by 3?

Solution

If a number is divisible by 3, then sum of the digits of the number should be multiple of 3

Sum of the digits of the number 8765001 = 8+7+6+5+0+0+1 = 27

Sum of the digits of the number 8703593 = 8+7+0+3+5+9+3 = 35

Sum of the digits of the number 8703541 = 8+7+0+3+5+4+1 = 28

Sum of the digits of the number 8703572 = 8+7+0+3+5+7+2 = 32

Clearly 27 is the multiple of 3, so 8765001 is divisible by 3

Hence, the correct answer is Option A
