Each of the 30 integers can fall into following set having 10 elements in each 
To;{3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30} 3K
To;{1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22,25,28} 3K+1
To;{2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26,29} 3K+2
Consider a general subset {x,y,z} if S, so that x+y+z=3
Beacause multiple of 3 can be formed out of 3
Remainders in extectly four different ways 0+0=0,1+1+1,2+2+2 and 0+1+2.
  Either x, y and z selected from same set  (T0,T1,T2) or exactly one of them lie in each of these sets  (T0,T1,T2).
 P=3×10C3+(10C110C110C1)=1360
 P340=4
