Question:
How many numbers of two digit are divisible by 3?
Solution:
The two digit numbers that are divisible by 3 are:
12, 15, 18...96, 99
This is an A.P. whose first term is 12 and the common difference is 3.
We have :
$a_{n}=99$
$\Rightarrow 12+(n-1) 3=99$
$\Rightarrow(n-1) 3=87$
$\Rightarrow(n-1)=29$
$\Rightarrow n=30$
Thus, there are 30 such terms.
