The sum of all three-digit natural numbers which are divisible by 7 is
The correct option is C: (70336)
The smallest and the largest three-digit number, which are divisible by 7 are 105 and 994 respectively.
So, the sequence of three-digit numbers which are divisible by 7 is 105,112,119,…,994
Clearly, it is an A.P. with first term a=105 and common difference d=7.
Let there be ′n′ terms in this sequence.
Then, an=994
⇒a+(n−1)d=994 [Since an=a+(n−1)d]⇒105+(n−1)7=994⇒105+7n−7=994⇒7n+98=994⇒7n=994−98⇒7n=896⇒n=8967⇒n=128
Now, required sum
Sn=n2(a+l)
=1282(105+994)
=64(1099)
=70336
Hence, the sum of three-digit number divisible by 7 is 70336.
