Correct Answer: Both 3 and 9
Solution : Let abc be the three-digit number. abc = 100a + 10b + c (here a, b, and c are digits) According to the question, If we subtract (a + b + c) from (100a + 10b + c) = 100a + 10b + c – (a + b + c) = 100a + 10b + c – a – b – c = 99a + 9b = 9(11a + b) Here we can see that 9 is a common factor. Thus the resulting difference is always divisible by 9. And we know that a number that is divisible by 9 is also divisible by 3. Hence, the correct answer is both 3 and 9.
