Q51 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (25 Jun Shift 1) · Mathematics

The number of 3-digit odd numbers, whose sum of digits is a multiple of 7, is _____.

Correct answer: 63

Solution

Let the three-digit odd number be xyz

Now z=1/3/5/7/9

x+y+z=7/14/21  [for sum of digit to be multiple of 7]

x+y =6/4/2/13/11/9/7/5/20/18/16/14/12

When x+y=6⇒1,5,2,4,3,3,4,2,5,1,6,0

Total possibilities=6

When x+y=4⇒1,3,2,2,3,1,4,0

Total possibilities=4

When x+y=2⇒1,1,2,0

Total possibilities=2

When x+y=13⇒4,9,5,8,6,7,7,6,8,5,9,4

Total possibilities=6

When x+y=11⇒2,9,3,8,4,7,5,6,6,5,6,5,7,4,8,3,9,2

Total possibilities=8

When x+y=9⇒1,8,2,7,3,8,4,5,5,4,….8,1,9,0

Total possibilities=9

When x+y=7⇒1,8,2,5,3,4,….8,1,7,0

Total possibilities=7

When x+y=5⇒1,4,2,3,3,2,4,1,5,0

Total possibilities=5

When x+y=20  No possibilities

When x+y=18⇒9,9

Total possibilities=1

When x+y=16⇒7,9,8,8,9,7

Total possibilities=3

When x+y=14⇒5,9,6,8,7,7,8,6,9,5

Total possibilities=5

When x+y=12⇒3,9,4,8,5,7,6,6….9,3

Total possibilities=7

Hence, the total number of three digit odd numbers whose sum of digit is divisible by 7 is 63

Hence, the correct answer is 63.
