Yes, and both of those are divisible by 3, so A is not correct.

Oh, and FYI, all of these are divisible by 3 except 1 pair, so we just have to find the 1 pair that isn't divisible by 3.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay, are both those numbers divisible by 3?
OpenStudy (s117):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, so B is our answer.
OpenStudy (s117):
thnx @iGreen.
