If B and C are digits and 8BC is a 3-digit number that is divisible by 3, which of the following is a possible product of B and C?

A. 1
B. 2
C. 5
D. 6
E. 14

Try with the options -

A. If BC = 1 , both B and C must be 1

B. If BC = 2 , either B or C must be 1 or 2 ; In that case sum of the digits will be 8 + 1 + 2 = 11 which is not divisible by 3

C. If BC = 5 , either B or C must be 1 or 5 ; In that case sum of the digits will be 8 + 1 + 5 = 14 which is not divisible by 3

D. If BC = 6 , then we can have the following possibilities

i. Either B or C must be 2 or 3 ; In that case sum of the digits will be 8 + 2 + 3 = 13 which is not divisible by 3

ii. Either B or C must be 1 or 6 ; In that case sum of the digits will be 8 + 1 + 6 = 15 which is divisible by 3

E. If BC = 14 , then either B or C must be 2 or 7 ; In that case sum of the digits will be 8 + 2 + 7 = 17 which is not divisible by 3


Thus answer is (D) :-D :o :lol: :P

A. 1
B. 2
C. 5
D. 6
E. 14

Rule: Sum of the digits should be divisible by 3.

A: Not possible - This means B=C=1. Sum then becomes 10 not divisible by 3.
B: Not possible - This means that B or C is 2 and the other digit is 1. Sum is 11 and not divisible by 3.
C: Not possible - This means that B or C is 5 and the other digit is 1. Sum is 14 and not divisible by 3.
D: Possible - B and C could be 2 and 3 or 6 and 1. if 6 and 1, the sum is 15 and divisible by 3.
E: Not possible. B and C is 2 and 7. Sum then is not divisible by 3.

Hence Answer D.
