Aisha chose a whole number and multiplied it by 3. Which of the following numbers could not be her answer?

Correct answer: A. 103

  • A. 103
  • B. 105
  • C. 204
  • D. 444

Explanation

The very first solution that comes to our mind is the one that we learned in school. If the sum of digits in a number is a multiple of 3 then the number is a multiple of 3, e.g., for 612, the sum of digits is 9 so it's a multiple of 3. Here 1+0+3 equals 4 hence it is not a multiple of three, the others however are such 1+5 = 6 2+4= 6 4+4+4= 12 These are all divisible by 3 so are multiples of 3
