    Solution

    ATQ;

    If a number is a multiple of 3, 6, and 9, then the number is a multiple of the L.C.M of 3, 6, and 9.

    L.C.M of 3, 6, and 9 = 18

    Smallest multiple of 18 between 50 and 500 = 54

    Largest multiple of 18 between 50 and 500 = 486

    Common difference = 18

    Let the required number of terms be 'n'.

    So, 54 + (n - 1) Ă— 18 = 486

    Or, n - 1 = (486 - 54) Ă· 18 = 24

    So, n = 24 + 1 = 25

    So, there are 25 numbers between 50 and 500 which are multiples of 3, 6, and 9.
