Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Two-digit numbers range from 10 to 99.


The first two-digit number divisible by 3:

10 ÷ 3 is not a whole number

11 ÷ 3 is not a whole number

12 ÷ 3 = 4

The first two-digit number divisible by 3 is 12.


The last two-digit number divisible by 3:

99 ÷ 3 = 33

The last two-digit number divisible by 3 is 99.


The two-digit numbers divisible by 3 form the sequence: 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, ... 96, 99

Each number is 3 more than the previous one (common difference = 3).


For a sequence with constant difference:

Number of terms =Last−FirstCommon difference+1= \dfrac{\text{Last} - \text{First}}{\text{Common difference}} + 1

n=99−123+1n = \dfrac{99 - 12}{3} + 1

n=873+1n = \dfrac{87}{3} + 1

n=29+1n = 29 + 1

n=30n = 30


Therefore, there are 30 two-digit numbers divisible by 3.

The answer is Option 1: 30
