The number of 3-digit odd numbers, whose sum of digits is a multiple of $$7$$, is ______.
Correct Answer: 63
Let the 3-digit odd number be
$$100a+10b+c$$
where
$$a\in\{1,2,\ldots,9\},\qquad b\in\{0,1,\ldots,9\}$$
and since the number is odd,
$$c\in\{1,3,5,7,9\}$$
Also,
$$a+b+c$$
must be a multiple of $$7$$.
Possible multiples of $$7$$ between minimum sum $$2$$ and maximum sum $$27$$ are
$$7,\ 14,\ 21$$
Now, count case-wise.
Case 1: $$c=1$$
Then,
$$a+b=6,13,20$$
For
$$a+b=6$$
number of solutions $$=6$$
For
$$a+b=13$$
number of solutions $$=6$$
For
$$a+b=20$$
number of solutions $$=0$$
Total cases $$=12$$
Case 2: $$c=3$$
Then,
$$a+b=4,11,18$$
For
$$a+b=4$$
number of solutions $$=4$$
For
$$a+b=11$$
number of solutions $$=8$$
For
$$a+b=18$$
number of solutions $$=1$$
Total cases $$=13$$
Case 3: $$c=5$$
Then,
$$a+b=2,9,16$$
For
$$a+b=2$$
number of solutions $$=2$$
For
$$a+b=9$$
number of solutions $$=9$$
For
$$a+b=16$$
number of solutions $$=3$$
Total cases $$=14$$
Case 4: $$c=7$$
Then,
$$a+b=0,7,14,21$$
For
$$a+b=0$$
number of solutions $$=0$$
For
$$a+b=7$$
number of solutions $$=7$$
For
$$a+b=14$$
number of solutions $$=5$$
For
$$a+b=21$$
number of solutions $$=0$$
Total cases $$=12$$
Case 5: $$c=9$$
Then,
$$a+b=5,12,19$$
For
$$a+b=5$$
number of solutions $$=5$$
For
$$a+b=12$$
number of solutions $$=7$$
For
$$a+b=19$$
number of solutions $$=0$$
Total cases $$=12$$
Hence, total number of required numbers
$$=12+13+14+12+12$$
$$=63$$
Therefore, the required number is $$\boxed{63}$$.
