If a number is divisible by 3, then the sum of it's digits must be divisible by 3..... We cannot tell whether a number is divisible by 3 just by looking at the last two digits.... In option B , we may not know whether that number is really divisible by 3 or not , and we must not even care really checking about divisibility of 3...
