Solution
If x + y + z = 6 and z is an odd digit, then the three-digit number xyz is an odd multiple of 3.
Explanation:
We have, x + y + z = 6 and z is an odd digit.
Since, sum of the digits is divisible by 3, it will also be divisible by 2 and 3 but unit digit is odd, so it is divisible by 3 only.
Hence, the number is an odd multiple of 3.

(Since 24x is a multiple of 3, its sum of digits 6 + x is a multiple of 3; so 6 + x is one of these numbers: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18…. But since x is a digit, it can only be that 6 + x = 6 or 9 or 12 or 15. Therefore, x = 0 or 3 or 6 or 9. Thus, x can have any of four different values)
