-
- if the divisor is "7" instead of "77"
The answer is 128 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(24) No(0)
- I got 12
3 digit number ranges from 100 to 999
first 3 digit number that is divisible by 77 is 154
so a=154, d=77, nth term= 999
so 154+(n-1)*77=999
77n-77=845
77n=922
n=12 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(1)
- 100 to 999
7 instead of 77
7*15=105
7*143=1001
so 143-15=128 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- ACTUAL ANS:11(NOT GIVEN IN OPTION).
REASON:
3 digit number ranges from 100 to 999
first 3 digit number that is divisible by 77 is 154
so a=154, d=77, nth term= 924
so 154+(n-1)*77=924
77n-77=770
77n=847
n=11

- suppose first term is 154 (as 3 digit point of view )
common difference is d =77
last term is
999 = 154 +(n-1)77 [last term = a + (n-1)d ]
after solving
n= 11 is answer
