Consider all 3-digit numbers (without repetition of digits) obtained using three non-zero digits which are multiples of 3. Let S be their sum.

Which of the following is/are correct?

1. S is always divisible by 74.

2. S is always divisible by 9.

select the correct answer using the code given below:

The correct answer is

Both 1 and 2

Given:

Digits are non-zero and multiple of 3 i.e. 3, 6, 9

Number doesn't have repetition of digits.

Calculation:

The numbers thus formed are

369, 396, 639, 693, 936, 963

Sum of these numbers = 3996 and it is divisible by both 74 as well as 9.

Hence, option 3 is correct.
