3n type → 3, 6, 9 = P

3n – 1 type → 2, 5 = Q

3n – 2 type → 1, 4 = R

number of subset of S containing one element which are not divisible by 3

= 2C1 + 2C1 = 4

number of subset of S containing two numbers whose some is not divisible by 3

= 3C1 X 2C1 + 3C1 x 2C1 + 2C2 + 2C2 = 14

number of subsets containing 3 elements whose sum is not divisible by 3

= 3C2 x 4C1 + (2C2 + 2C1)2 + 3C1(2C2 + 2C2) = 22

number of subsets containing 4 elements whose sum is not divisible by 3

= 3C3 x 4C1 + 3C2(2C2 + 2C2) + (3C12C1 x 2C2)2

= 4 + 6 + 12 = 22.

number of subsets of S containing 5 elements whose sum is not divisible by 3.

= 3C3(2C2 + 2C2) + (3C22C1 x 2C2) x 2

= 2 + 12 = 14

number of subsets of S containing 6 elements whose sum is not divisible by 3 = 4 

Total subsets of Set A whose sum of digits is not divisible by 3

= 4 + 14 + 22 + 22 + 14 + 4

= 80
