Question

Let m,n,pN with 1m100; 1n50; 1p25. The number of possible ordered triplets (m,n,p) such that 2m+2n+2p is divisible by 3 is 5k. Then k is

Solution

2m+2n+2p
=(31)m+(31)n+(31)p
=3u+(1)m+(1)n+(1)p, where uN
So, 2m+2n+2p is divisible by 3 if m,n,p all are odd or all are even.
Number of possible ordered triplets
=50×25×13+50×25×12
=50×25(12+13)
=50×625=5×6250=5×k
k=6250
