Question

Which of the following numbers is divisible by 3 ?

• A. 541326
• B. 5967013
• C. 5967019
• D. 558692

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. 

Step 2: For 541326:

\( 5 + 4 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 6 = 21 \)

Since 21 is divisible by 3, 541326 is divisible by 3.

Step 3: Check the sum of digits for other numbers:

• For 5967013: 
  \( 5 + 9 + 6 + 7 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 31 \) (not divisible by 3)
• For 5967019: 
  \( 5 + 9 + 6 + 7 + 0 + 1 + 9 = 37 \) (not divisible by 3)
• For 558692: 
  \( 5 + 5 + 8 + 6 + 9 + 2 = 35 \) (not divisible by 3)

Thus, the correct answer is 541326.
