Numbers divisible by 9 between 43 and 481 are:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 49

Formula used:

Nth term of the AP

Tn = a + (n - 1)d                ---- (1)

Where Tn = nth term, a = first term, n = number of terms and d = difference

Calculations:

First number and last number that are divisible between 43 and 481 are 45 and 477.

Tn = 477, a = 45, d = 9

Using equation (1), we get

⇒ 477 = 45 + (n - 1)9

⇒ 53 = 5 + n - 1

⇒ n = 49
