    Find the sum of all two-digit numbers that give a remainder of 3 when they are divided by 7.
    Question

    Find the sum of all two-digit numbers that give a remainder of 3 when they are divided by 7.

    A.

    656

    B.

    666

    C.

    676

    D.

    686

    Correct option is C

    Given: 
    Divisor = 7
    Remainder = 3
    Concept used:
    A, (A + D), (A + 2D), ...., Nth term The series mentioned above is in Arithmetic Progression.
    Number of terms in the series (N) =

    Sum of all N terms =


    Solution:
    Numbers from 1 to 100 that are when divided by 7 leave 0 as a remainder are as follows:
    7, 14, 21, ...., 84, 91, 98
    Now, two-digit numbers that are when divided by 7 leave 3 as a remainder are as follows:
    (7 + 3), (14 + 3), (21 + 3), ...., (84 + 3), (91 + 3)
    => 10, 17, 24, ...., 87, 94
    As we can see, the series mentioned above is in Arithmetic Progression, 
    where 10 is the first term and (17 - 10), i.e., 7 is the common difference.
    Number of terms in the series = (94−10)/7+1 = 13
    Now, the sum of the terms of the series
    = (94+10)/2×13
    = 52 × 13
    = 676
    The sum of all two-digit numbers that give a remainder of 3 when they are divided by 7 is 676.
