Re: If m and n are positive integers and r is the remained when [#permalink]
I agree with Karishma,
50+m
500+m
.
.
500000+m , when divided by 3 will give remainder 2 +m so, the value of r will depend upon m.

Re: If m and n are positive integers and r is the remained when [#permalink]
we know that 5X10^N +m gives remainder 0 when sum of digits divisible by 3 else some value
now
statement 1 : N has some value positive but we know nothing about M so sum of digits = 5+N number of zeros+m :M unknown so insufficient
statement 2: M is 1 and N has some value positive so sum of digits = 5+N number of zeros+1=6 always therefore divisible and sufficient

B
please tell if my approach is correct

Hi '

I think your approach is correct. The answer is dependent on the value of m, not n as explained in the solution above.

Can anyone solve this using the EVI approach? Equation > Variable.
