Let the number be (3q + r)
{tex}n = 3 q + r \quad 0 \leq r < 3{/tex}
{tex}\text { or } 3 q , 3 q + 1,3 q + 2{/tex}
{tex}\text { If } n = 3 q \text { then, numbers are } 3 q , ( 3 q + 1 ) , ( 3 q + 2 ){/tex}
{tex}3 q \text { is divisible by } 3{/tex}.
{tex}\text { If } n = 3 q + 1 \text { then, numbers are } ( 3 q + 1 ) , ( 3 q + 3 ) , ( 3 q + 4 ){/tex}
{tex}( 3 q + 3 ) \text { is divisible by } 3{/tex}.
{tex}\text { If } n = 3 q + 2 \text { then, numbers are } ( 3 q + 2 ) , ( 3 q + 4 ) , ( 3 q + 6 ){/tex}
{tex}( 3 q + 6 ) \text { is divisible by } 3{/tex}.
{tex}\therefore \text { out of } n , ( n + 2 ) \text { and } ( n + 4 ) \text { only one is divisible by } 3{/tex}.
