Solution

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+(n1)d=994 [Since an=a+(n1)d]105+(n1)7=994105+7n7=9947n+98=9947n=994987n=896n=8967n=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.
