    A 7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Divisible by 15 ⇒ divisible by 5 and 3

    Divisible by 5 ⇒ q = 0 or 5

    Divisible by 3 ⇒ sum divisible by 3

    Case 1: q = 0

    Sum = 1 + 2 + 6 + 9 + z + 0 = z + 18

    Divisible by 3 ⇒ z = 0, 3, 6, 9

    Case 2: q = 5

    Sum = 1 + 2 + 6 + 9 + z + 5 = z + 23

    Divisible by 3 ⇒ z = 1, 4, 7

    Total values of z: 4 + 3 = 7
