Detailed Solution

We have to find the number of three--digit natural numbers that are divisible by 9.
We know that the three-digit numbers that are completely divisible by 3 are-
108, 117, 126,…,999.
The above numbers are in the form of an AP.
So,
a 1 =108 d=9 a n =999
To find the value of n, substitute the known values in the formula,
a n =a+(n1)d
a n =999
108+(n1)×9=999 9n+99=999 9n=99999 9n=900
n = 100
There are 100 three-digit numbers that are divisible by 9.
Hence the correct option is 1.
