First 3 digit no that leaves remainder of 5 when divided by 7 is 103 and the last one is 999

so, total no of such numbers is = (999-103)/7 = 128

IMO ANS is A

If you think that you need to practice Maths, I would suggest you should do OG first. OG's questions are not very tough but they will give you good practice.

103, 110, .... 999

Number of 3 digit numbers = ((999-103)/7)+1 = 129.

It should be 129.
