Let N = a2607b be a six digit number divisible by 75, then ‘a’ can not be equal to

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sicne the given number is divisible by \(75\), that means it is divisible by both \(25\) and \(3\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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, \(b = 5\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

remember the divisibility rule for 3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

here it is : if the sum of digits are divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for \(a26075\) to be divisible by 3, below must hold : \(a + 2 + 6 + 0 + 7 + 5 \) must be divisible by 3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see for wat values that sum is divisible by 3 or not divisible by 3 hope u can do the rest :)
