Q1 of 42 Page 156

If is a 3-digit number, then the number


is always divisible by

We have been given a 3-digit number, and another number,


Here, take one of the numbers from the given additions of n, say, .


The cyclic permutation of this number can be written as,



And this we know, can be written as





So,





…(i)


Now take another set of numbers, .


These are also cyclic permutation of .


Add these cyclic permutation, we get



And this in turn can be written as,





So,





…(ii)


Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get



n = 222 (a + b + c)


n = 6 × 37 × (a + b + c)


Notice that, the number is always divisible by 6.
