Question

State whether the following statement is True or False

If a number is divisible by $3$, it must be divisible by $9$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Checking if a number is divisible by $3$, then it is divisible by $9$ or not:

The multiples of $3$ which are not the multiples of $9$ are always not divisible by $9$

For example: $\text{6,12,15,21,24,30,33,39}$ etc.

Hence, If a number is divisible by $3$, it may or may not be divisible by $9$

Hence, the given statement is False.
