Question:
How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 6?
Solution:
The two-digit numbers divisible by 6 are 12, 18, 24, ..., 96.
Clearly, these number are in AP.
Here, a = 12 and d = 18 − 12 = 6
Let this AP contains n terms. Then,
$a_{n}=96$
$\Rightarrow 12+(n-1) \times 6=96 \quad\left[a_{n}=a+(n-1) d\right]$
$\Rightarrow 6 n+6=96$
$\Rightarrow 6 n=96-6=90$
$\Rightarrow n=15$
Hence, there are 15 two-digit numbers divisible by 6.
