Correct option is (B) 15

First two-digit number which is divisible by 6 is 12 and last two-digit number which is divisible by 6 is 96.

12, 18, 24, ........., 96 is the A.P. of two-digit numbers which are divisible by 6.

\(\therefore a=12,a_n=96,d=a_2-a_1=18-12=6\)

Now, \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\)

\(\Rightarrow96=12+(n-1)6\)

\(\Rightarrow6(n-1)=96-12=84\)

\(\Rightarrow n-1=\frac{84}6=14\)

\(\Rightarrow n=14+1=15\)

Hence, there are 15 two-digit numbers which are divisible by 6.
