3-digit number divisible by 6 are: 102, 108, 114,... , 996
This is an A.P. in which a = 102, d = 6 and l = 996
Let the number of terms be n. Then tn = 996.
a + (n - 1)d = 996
102 + (n - 1) x 6 = 996
6 x (n - 1) = 894
(n - 1) = 149
n = 150
Number of terms = 150.
Let the ages of children be x, (x + 3), (x + 6), (x + 9) and (x + 12) years.
Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 50
5x = 20
x = 4.
Age of the youngest child = x = 4 years.
