Solution
Let abc be a three digit number. Then abc + bca + cab is not divisible by 9.
Explanation:
We know that, the sum of three-digit numbers taken in cyclic order can be written as 111(a + b + c).
i.e. abc + bca + cab = 3 × 37 × (a + b + c)
Hence, the sum is divisible by 3, 37 and (a + b + c) but not divisible by 9.

If 24x is a multiple of 3, where x is a digit, what is the value of x?
(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)
