Let N = a2607b be a six digit number divisible by 75, then a can not be equal to
sicne the given number is divisible by \(75\), that means it is divisible by both \(25\) and \(3\)
for it to bei divisible by 25, it requires last two digits to be 00/25/50/75 since the previous digit is fixed at 7, \(b = 5\)
so, \(N=a26075\) is divisble by \(25\) for all values of \(a\) next see wat values of \(a\) will make \(N\) to be divisible by 3 also
remember the divisibility rule for 3 ?
nope
here it is : if the sum of digits are divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3
for \(a26075\) to be divisible by 3, below must hold : \(a + 2 + 6 + 0 + 7 + 5 \) must be divisible by 3
see for wat values that sum is divisible by 3 or not divisible by 3 hope u can do the rest :)
