Re: Is a 3-digit number divisible by 6? 1). The sum of tens' and [#permalink]
Stmt 1 and 2 alone are insuff.

Combining, (I took an algebric approach)
Let the number be 100X + 10Y + Z......................1
Stmt 1 tells that X + Y = 6 or X = Y - 6
Stmt 2 tells that Z = 6
So eq. 1 can be written as
100(Y-6) + 10Y + 6
or (606 - 90Y).Now we need to determine if (600 - 90Y) is divisible by 6 or not.
Take 6 common and it becomes
6 (101 - 30Y) which indicates that it divisible by 6.
