Solution
The two digit numbers divisible by 3 are as follows:
12, 15, 18, 21, ...., 99
Clearly, this form an A.P with first term a = 12 and common difference d = 3
Last term = nth term = 99
The general term of an A.P is given by
`t_n = a + (n -1)d`
=> 99 12 + (n - 1)(3)
=> 99 = 12 + 3n - 3
=> 90 = 3n
=> n = 30
Thus 30 two-digit numbers are divisible by 3.
