Detailed Solution

Seven digits are 8,7,6,4,3,xandy

Sum of digits is 8+7+6+4+3+x+y

=28+x+y

Maximum value of xyis 9, then x is 9 ,y=0

28+9+0=37 is not divisible by '3'

Maximum value of x+y is 12, then 28+12=40is not divisible by '3'

Minimum value of xy is 0 then x=2,y=0

xy=20,x+y=2,28+2=30 is x is visible by '3'
