Detailed Solution

The given number is 990.
We know that the numbers ending with 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 are divisible by 2 and if the sum of numbers is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3 also.
Since the number 990 ends with 0, it is divisible by 2.
Now, adding the digits of 990.
9+9+0=18
As we can see, 18 is divisible 3. Hence, 990 is divisible by both 2 and 3.
Therefore, the given statement is true,
Thus, option 1 is correct.
