    Question

    Find the sum of all three-digit numbers divisible by 9 .

    A.

    60,150

    B.

    49,950

    C.

    55,350

    D.

    54,450

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    Numbers are three-digit integers divisible by 9.
    Formula Used:
    Arithmetic Progression formulas:
    Nth term = a + (n - 1)d
    Sum of n terms = n2\frac{n}{2}​ × (a + l)
    Solution:
    The smallest three-digit number divisible by 9 is 108.
    The largest three-digit number divisible by 9 is 999.
    The numbers form an Arithmetic Progression (AP): 108, 117, 126, ..., 999.
    Here, first term (a) = 108, last term (l) = 999, common difference (d) = 9.
    Find the number of terms (n):
    999 = 108 + (n - 1) × 9
    891 = (n - 1) × 9
    n - 1 = 99
    n = 100
    Now, find the sum of these 100 terms.
    Sum = 1002×(108+999)\frac{100}{2} × (108 + 999)​​
    = 50 × 1107
    = 55350
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (c)
