No this can be solved by arithmetic progression, as I did.
First we see for the numbers which leave remainder 0 . Clearly these are 1 0 2 , 1 0 5 , 1 0 8 . . . . . . , 9 9 6 , 9 9 9 So the numbers that leave remainder 2 are 1 0 1 , 1 0 4 , 1 0 7 . . . . . . . . . , 9 9 5 , 9 9 8 This is an AP with a=101,d=3 & l=998 You can also find that n = 3 0 0 . Hence required sum = 2 n ( a + l ) = 1 6 4 8 5 0

The sum
S = 1 0 1 + 1 0 4 + 1 0 7 + . . . + 9 9 8 = 2 1 0 1 + 9 9 8 ( 3 9 9 8 − 1 0 1 + 1 ) = 2 1 0 9 9 × 3 0 0 = 1 6 4 8 5 0
