  1. Solution:

    The 1st Three Digit number that is divisible by seven is,

    First no. = 105

    Second no. = 105+7 = 112

    Third no.= 112+7 =119

    Therefore, 105, 112, 119, …

    All are three digit numbers are divisible by 7 and thus, all these are terms of an Arithmetic Progression having 1st term as 105 and c.d as 7.

    The largest possible three-digit number is 999.

    When we divide 999 by 7, 5 will be the remainder.

    i.e, 999-5 = 994 is the maximum possible three-digit number that is divisible by 7.

    Now the series is:

    105, 112, 119, …, 994

    Let 994 be the nth term of this Arithmetic Progression of this A.P.

    a = 105

    d = 7

    an = 994

    n = ?

    As we know that;

    an = a+(n−1)d

    994 = 105+(n−1)7

    889 = (n−1)7

    (n−1) = 127

    n = 128

    i.e 128 three digit numbers are divisible by 7.
