:yes


The first no is 100 and the last number is 994( and every number in between has a common difference of 6...i.e 106 and 888 are also numbers , the normal AP )

The total no. of such numbers is ((994 - 100 ) / 6) + 1 = 150
the Sum = (150/2)(100 + 994) = 82050.

(am I getting brownie points here :lol: )

What is the sum of all 3-digit positive integers that leave a remainder of "4" when divided by "6"?

(A) 83050
(B) 75500
(C) 75550
(D) 82500
(E) 151000


The sum of such numbers equals 82050, by the way, computer verified.

Total numbers 165 - 15 = 150

so we need numbers from 96 to 990, plus 4.

The sum is 90*150 + 4*150 + 6*75*151 = 82050
