Detailed Solution

We have to find the sum of all three-digit natural numbers which are divisible by 13.
We know that the three-digit numbers that are completely divisible by 13 are:
104, 117, 130, 143,… 988
The above numbers are in the form of an AP.
So,
a 1 =104 d=13 a n =988
The nth term of an AP is given by,
a n =a+(n1)d .
To find the value of n, substitute the known values in the formula.
104+(n1)×13=988 104+13n13=988 104+13n=1001 13n=1001104 n=69
There are 69 three digit numbers that are divisible by 13.
The formula that gives the sum of the n terms is,
S n = n 2 [a+l] , where l is the last term.
Substitute the known values in the above formula.
S 29 = 69 2 [104+988]
= 29 2 (1092) =37,674
The sum of the three-digit numbers divisible by 13 is 37,674.
Hence, option 4) is correct.
