The numbers 345111 is divisible by
Let us separately check for each option.
For Option (A),
If 345111 is divisible by 15.
Then, 345111 is also divisible by (5 × 3).
⇒ 345111 is divisible by 5; 345111 is divisible by 3.
Add all digits of the number 345111, we get
3 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 15, which is divisible by 3.
⇒ 345111 is divisible by 3.
But clearly, 345111 is not divisible by 5, since the last digit is neither 5 nor 0.
∴ 345111 is not divisible by 15. [∵ it is not divisible by 5]
Option (A) is incorrect.
For Option (B),
If 345111 is divisible by 12.
Then, 345111 is also divisible by (4 × 3).
⇒ 345111 is divisible by 4; 345111 is divisible by 3.
Add all digits of the number 345111, we get
3 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 15, which is divisible by 3.
⇒ 345111 is divisible by 3.
But clearly, 345111 is not divisible by 4, since the number ought to be even to get divided by another even number.
∴ 345111 is not divisible by 12. [∵ it is not divisible by 4]
Option (B) is incorrect.
For Option (C),
If 345111 is divisible by 9 then let us check its feasibility.
A number is divisible by 9 if and only if the sum of digits of the number is also divisible by 9.
Sum of digits of 345111 = 3 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1
⇒ Sum of digits of 345111 = 15
15 is not divisible by 9.
∴ 345111 is not divisible by 9.
Option (C) is incorrect.
For Option (D),
If 345111 is divisible by 3 then let us check its feasibility.
A number is divisible by 3 if and only if the sum of digits of the number is also divisible by 3.
Sum of digits of 345111 = 3 + 4 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1
⇒ Sum of digits of 345111 = 15
15 is divisible by 3.
∴ 345111 is divisible by 3.
Option (D) is correct.
