- A.
149
- B.
166
- C.
150
- D.
151
Correct Answer
C. 150Explanation
There are a total of 900 3-digit numbers ranging from 100 to 999. To find the number of 3-digit numbers divisible by 6, we need to find the number of multiples of 6 within this range. The first multiple of 6 within this range is 102, and the last multiple is 996. To find the count, we can subtract the first multiple from the last multiple and divide by 6 (996-102)/6 = 894/6 = 149. However, we need to add 1 to include the last multiple, so the correct answer is 150.Rate this question:

- A.
100
- B.
110
- C.
120
- D.
130
Correct Answer
B. 110Explanation
The angle between the hour and minute hand can be calculated by using the formula: 30H - 11/2M, where H represents the hour and M represents the minute. In this case, the hour hand is at 12 and the minute hand is at 4, so the angle is 30(12) - 11/2(20) = 360 - 110 = 250 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is 110.Rate this question:
