JEE Main 2022 · 25 Jun · Shift 1, Mathematics question 22

The number of 3-digit odd numbers, whose sum of digits is a multiple of 7, is ______.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 63

Count by last digit c∈{1,3,5,7,9}c\in\{1,3,5,7,9\} and first digit a∈{1,…,9}a\in\{1,\dots,9\}, middle b∈{0,…,9}b\in\{0,\dots,9\}, with a+b+c∈{7,14,21}a+b+c\in\{7,14,21\}.

Tally. For each (a,c)(a,c) the number of valid bb is 1 or 2; summing over the 45 pairs gives 63 (checked by direct enumeration).
